Pay and Status. Eileen Griffiths, who qualified in 1960, remembers:
I particularly remember one of my State Enrolled Nurses, who was a very
experienced Austrian girl, specialising in neurosurgery. We had a twelve year old German
boy admitted, who was involved in the Tower of London bombing. He had severe burns and also
a head injury, and had to be cared for in a side room, but he couldn’t speak any English.
This Austrian State Enrolled Nurse specialled him all the time. I don’t know how we would
have coped so effectively without her. It was a very good relationship.
