Schools of Nursing Forum

I totally agree, potential to lose it.  I for one list my badge pictures on here, preferring it over FB.  As you may be aware I do promote the SoN website on FB too as a way of encouraging people to at least view the wealth of badges & other information gained within this site.  FB is a quick fix but by no means is a replacement for this site.

Another year consigned to the dustbin of history, yet more challenges ahead.I have been very disappointed to see the lack of postings on the site  last year but perhaps we could try harder this year? I think we all fail to appreciate how much effort goes into keeping the site alive and the debt of thanks we owe to Wilf for setting it up in the first place. Well as we know from previous sites it could be a case of use it or loose it and I would hate to see that happen. We seem to have migrated to FB(which I detest but use) for instant likes but that really is no replacement for a well balanced and laid out site such as this. For all the interest in Nursing Badges and a wealth of new collectors we appear to have come little farther forward in our knowledge or study of their history. Any suggestions as to how we might revitalise this site or are people just happy to view pics (what I call badge Porn!) Over to you all for thoughts and suggestions

Hi.

I seem to have missed this one. Apologies.

Yes, I worked at the York SoN as a senior tutor in the early 80's.  I was responsible ultimately for the rebuilding work at the house in Easingwold under the guidance OF DNE Ken Darley. We would have stayed longer but unfortunately Ken was unable to get my wife a job in Paediatrics (She had just qualified RNT) until after we had appointments elsewhere.  If anyone reads this I would be delighted to respond further.

Hi.

I thought that I would pre-warn everyone/anyone interested that I will be leaving for a holiday in the UK on the Sunday coming.  five weeks of bliss I hope.

BUT, the website will remain open and should be finding normally, supervised as usual my our moderator (backman) and our tech Admin Adrian.  This months news should be online this Saturday evening.

All the best,
Will.

Hi,

No problem Edelweiss, I feel sure that we can all count. But of course your book is probably better value with more photograhs!  I may yet buy another for Adrian (our tech specialist.

Very Best,
Will.

Hi
I have just noticed - the book contains 377 photos of nedals and badges, not 177. Must learn to type!
