I remember as a teen reading about all those British nurses who ended up meetin stern, brooding doctors, usually from the Netherlands, now that I think about it. <br /><br />I forgot about Abby Lockheart in ER, but I have to admit, I've never seen China Beach.Marijke Vroomen-Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436563110710429784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-12342675998551758792012-05-07T11:24:36.624-04:002012-05-07T11:24:36.624-04:00I love Nurse Jackie!

We followed her from student nurse to visiting nurse to one form of nursing after another. I read them all. I also liked a nurse on a TV show about Vietnam--called China Beach. Dana Delaney played her, I think. Thanks for the memories.<br /><br />www.writergrannyesworld.blogspot.comNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160717876156540393noreply@blogger.com
