2. Interesting factoid about nurses.

My mother, who was born in 1916 became a nurse. It was a 3 year RN program back then. She probably graduated in 1937 or so. Back then nurses didn't give shots. The mostly did hands on kinds of care that nurse assistants who maybe have a few months training do today. Bed baths, delivering meal trays, that sort of thing.

She finally learned to give shots in 1962, when she was hired by a hospital that needed her to do that. And of course, at some point before then nursing had changed enormously.

After she retired she continued to give flu vaccinations at vaccination clinics. She loved it.
