Nurses in the family

There are no nurses in my immediate family, most of them are engineers including my uncles and brother and both of my parents are self employed: www.paperlace.co.uk and IM Plumbing Edinburgh

However in my extended family we have my great gran (who is now 100) who was an old nursing auxiliary, my dads cousin who is a HCA in mental health, his wife who is a nurse in our community hospital, their niece (who I think of as a cousin) who is a carer in learning disabilities.

Then from my husbands side, my husband himself is a paramedic and his cousin is a HCA in respiratory.

On top of this, my best friend from school is a cardiac nurse, and my daughter's best friends mum is a student child nurse.

So I suppose that although I didn't grow up with much nursing influence as a child, I do have plenty around me as an adult!
