DISTRICT nurses spoke to the Herald’s Wynsley Wrigley to mark International Nurses Day, which was commemorated yesterday, They talked of how they have adjusted to the demands of working during the Covid-19 lockdown. Jane Wilkie said they had “just been getting on with it”. Her inspiration comes from Ethel Watkins Taylor whose photograph hangs in the District Nurses’ main reception area. “She was one of the first 50 members of the New Zealand Army Nursing Services who went from New Zealand to World War 1. “She returned to Tairawhiti after five years overseas and worked as a district nurse in the Matawai and Motu region. “I kept thinking of what she must have had to deal with over her nursing career during the war, and in an isolated community afterwards. “It makes you reflect on how we are much more fortunate in modern times as a nurse to deal with a world-changing event.” Mrs Wilkie said no new date had yet been determined for the NAMOT (Nurses and Midwives of Tairawhiti) Awards which were postponed because of the pandemic. Nominations are not yet open. This year, 2020, is the International Year of the Nurse.
