Just wondering how you chose your username. Well, I chose Petra (sounds girlie, I know) but I was researching my next hol at the time. Petra is in Jordan,"full of mysterious charm" "nothing in the world resembles it", "designed to strike wonder into all who entered it", "breathtaking and never to be forgotten", "leads one to reflect on creativity and industry", "the majesty of Petra", "source of rough diamonds".....now you see why I chose it-very apt don't you think?
Here is the link if you don't believe me

Oh all right...I know I forgot to mention "treasure of the ancient world" !!!!!!
PS Nak-no need to reply-we've figured you out!!
Petra (the rock- ...maybe the molten rock then?)

Ward Sisters were known by their first names. My true name was already used by somebody else so I took the name Juliette - so if anyone remembers a "Sister Juliette" they can probably identify me!!

Mine is a nickname that was given to be by my group during RGN training. Only those in that group know me by that name, Kizzy is one of those, and she is named after a dog!
I am sad but I like to be called that name as it reminds me of my youth, and dancing on tables in the beer keller as a student nurse! |
