Confessions of a Nurses Home

Did you ever live in?

Do you have any unexpected tales from those dizzy days?
Fab fun frolics? Or solitary single sadness?
Wild parties or Pot Noodle for one?

Did you ever have fun evenings in the lounge like these groovy chicks at the North Carolina Baptist Hospital?

I think it's ok to name hospitals but not individuals.

The Brompton nurses home in the mid eighties
was a fun place to be, situated in South Kensington it was ideal for the Kings Road, Earls Court and central London. It was easy enough to find a shag, from porters to paediatricians, cooks to cardiac surgeons, and any willing body from the surrounding pubs.

The tunnel under the road linking the hospital to the nurses home was handy for getting the odd agency nurse back to your room on your night break. The drawback was if you met one of the Night Sisters as you often did trolling the corridors! After all the hard work of planning the same break.

No, They were pretty much obsolete when I did my training. I did however live in a shared house that was a den of iniquity.

Cause it's easier to fly,
There's a place that never dies in the southern sun,
Cause your love is on the run,
Let me out,
Set me free

You know...I think...yes it is! That's me with the apple! Oh no, wait a minute, now I look properly I can see it's Olive On The Buses.

I lived in the England's Lane nurses home. It was opposite the recording studio for Tears for Fears! Well, that was impressive in 1986 when I moved in.

Anyhoo, we had a porter called Dougie who had one lung and a penchant for lurking in the corridors with his torch trying to catch girls who'd snuck chaps home with them.

Funny, he never stopped me when I dragged young men back to my poky little room on the 4th floor. What larks!

Re: Confessions of a Nurses Home

I didnt live in for more than a few months because of the rules. So I threw lots of parties and everyone came! emoticon

My favourite memories of parties though was not at the nurses home but in the doctors mess, complete with drunk medical students singing surfing USA on ironing boards and drinking yards of ale.

Re: Confessions of a Nurses Home

I was on a corridor where I was the only male, the women didn't bother to cover up much coming out of the communal bathroom, ah bliss, anyway me and wobbly had two rooms opposite each other which we held on to when we first got married. The problem was that nurse students never worried about nicking other peoples foods from the communal fridges in the kitchen, and everyone seemed to come home drunk at different times of the night.

The good point was that I could be out of bed washed dressed and in school in less than 10 mins.

So you and wobbly met in the nurses home and you're still hitched now? Aww, how romantic! What's the secret, Uber?

Rules gave you opportunities to overcome such adversity...it was fun as long as you were one step ahead....and if that wqas ignoring a curfew then we werent that bad really....even sneaking males into matron sitting room after lights out was a game...

If I knew the answer to that I could make a fortune, might be that we still love each other no matter what.
