Clare's special Tuesday. you can see my special Treasures today are a part of my life.The watch is a special nurse watch and it was given to me by my neighbours as I prepared to leave my home town and go to the "big smoke"..Canberra. It has their names engraved on the back .I was at the Canberra Craft fair last year and I saw this lady smiling at me and then she said"are you..?" I then realised it was one of them. According to my daughter there was screaming and shouting . I had not seen her for about 15 years . The other is my nurses badge that I received when I graduated. Even more special now as the building is no longer there. Seems like only the other day that I was just a young girl starting out in life.

Great memories of a very special time. There seems to be such a comraderie between nurses that lasts forever.

What a special memory. A nurse's 1st watch is always very special to her. I remember recieving my 1st nurse's watch from my parent's when I started my training in the early 1980's.
