Was a ward sister at the Sick Children's Hospital in Edinburgh when I trained in pediatrics. I was simply in awe of her. She managed, as the sole charge nurse, a 30 bed surgical ward, the attached neonatal unit of around 6-10 cots and an attached 2 bed cardiothoracic surgery unit. She knew every child, everything about their condition and its care and seemingly all of their families as well. She was unflappable in any crisis and utterly respected and listened to by every doctor and health professional. That she managed to take time and trouble to help students on the ward like myself made her even more remarkable.
