10th Stripping: First day as Sister on New Ward
As mentioned previously I thought the "celebrations" were done when I qualified as a sister. It happened however that I was posted to another ward in the hospital and was asked to arrive an hour before the shift started to see round and get aquainted with their systems.
I arrived in plenty of time and most of the staff were actually there waiting, I reckoned the sister who was leaving was doing a fine job of handing over the post and introducing the staff as the last of the off duty staff appeared. "Right now, are we ready?" she said, I thought the question was aimed at me and answered "Yes!". That was obviously the cue for the rest of the induction, everybody cheered as I was lifted onto a trolley and wheeled towards the large bathroom. I thought I was going just for a bath as that is often the fate of new starts. Despite my new seniority they wasted no time unzipping my new uniform and firmly undressing me down to my underwear. It did not really matter anyway but someone remarked that I had already been fully stripped before leaving my last ward, but they had not performed the traditional shaving on me and had left it for the new ward to perform.
The front of my panties were pulled back to check and although I did keep myself reasonably neat and tidy It was clear I was going to have to shaved. A tray was produced so quickly as to be already organised and I was shaved by the most junior member of staff. I had not been aware of the bath being filled during this ordeal but I was then dunked into the coldest possible water you can imagine and left to get back to the ward. Being a sister does have it's advantages as I was left a large towel to wrap up in and at least did not have to streak down the corridor.
