At the age of 40 some 25 years ago now I decided to
become a nurse. My children had grown up and gone off to university and
hubby was working away a lot.
I hadn't consider that I would be the only 40 year old in the group of new nurses. The others all being 18 to 21. The majority being towards the 18.
A group of third years where in school at the same time and they where assigned to show us around and the ropes. They delighted in telling us tall tales about what happen to new nurses. Stripping, shaves, streaks, enemas, spankings and much more.
I thought that it was all designed to wind us up.
I started in 1984. The first eight weeks where in school. The last two week of which we spent two days on each of the ward s that we would first be assigned too. One early shift and one late shift. The weeks ran Saturday to Friday. I started on a Saturday.
Towards the end of the shift I was sitting in the office with staff having my ward induction. I had started on that ward with another student nurse who was just eighteen. staff said that they weren't sure how to treat me. It was clear that I was more mature than the other girls and in deed was older than staff and the same age has the ward sister.
I said I wanted to be treated just like any other student nurse I was there to learn. Little did I know it but that comment was to seal my fate.
The axillary nurse and a third year student appeared at the door sometime later and smiles passed between staff and them. The auxiliary asked if I could come and help her move some equipment in the sluice. I walked off with her without a thought.
I knew straight away I was in troubled. Not quite what sought of trouble. Well actually exactly what sought of trouble just not the details. In the middle of the floor was a pile of clothes. A white student nurses dress lay to the side of a pile of clothes. Shoes topped by tights, bra, knickers. No sign of a slip. Was my colleague wearing one as I was.
I turned in hopes of escape but my way was barred by the auxiliary and student nurse. The student now had a hospital night dress over her arm. It was the sought with a slit up the back.
The third year said that I could strip my self or they could strip me. Well I wasn't going to undress for two youngsters half my age. So I tried to get past them but they where very able. I tried to reason with them to no avail. The third year repeated her invitation.
Next thing I knew they set about me. Although I fought hard and long and was quite exhausted when they'd finished stripping me completely naked. I had not been quite at all I'd screamed the place down and called for help from staff which never came. I really was completely naked not a stitch on. They through the night dress at me keeping hold of my clothes. I was grateful for its cove.
Next they grabbed my arms and frog marched me out of the sluice into the ward area. All the women where awake thanks to my screams and calls for help. It was so humiliating. They walked me to the office where the other much younger student was also in a night dress.
I had to stay like that until night staff arrived. I was able to keep the back of the nighty closed. Once night staff arrived we where both allowed to run down the ward back to the sluice.
I had to strip naked in front of this young colleague as she did me. She was the age of my daughters. She got to see most of me.
That was my first encounter with being stripped.
