Doris Jensen Djernes

I graduated on January 6 1947  I  worked in Surgery at Grand Island Lutheran Hospital in Grand Island, Nebraska. There are not too many of my class that I know of still living. There is one in Giltner, Nebraska. I worked until 1992 when I retired. I went back to work when there was such a shortage in 1966. Before that I mostly did special duty (I was busy raising my 3 children) as there were no intensive care units at that time. I am 88 years old and keep very active. I do water aerobics weekly. Our school of nursing is no longer; however, St. Francis Hospital in Grand Island, Nebraska, is still there.
