Graduation Class 1976
Jill Stanton (Chubb)

The photo below, shows most of the Graduating Class
in 1976. We had two intakes in 1973, February and
April. The reason for this was the building of a third floor
Maternity Annexe with a Theatre, Children’s Ward and
Gynaecological Ward and the additional intake was to
provide the extra staff required.

Nurse training began with the three month-long Preliminary
Class known as Prelim. During this time we learned theory
and practical such as bed baths, and making beds before
becoming part of the work-force in the wards as a ‘one
striper’.
