After about three and a half months as being an Army Nurse Corp, I've worked in a couple different medical care centers. The conditions weren't like hospitals at home at all. Hospitals back home were always very sanitary and very calming to recover in. Medical centers where I worked during the war were often hectic. However the worst part of working in such a place is that your always being exposed to tropical illnesses and diseases, as well as having to adapt to different climatic conditions at any time, unsure of where you will be stationed the next day.
Working in such a place made my day somewhat more interesting then before. Each person had a different story to tell about themselves which made my day go by that much easier. However each day us nurses had to cope with lack of supplies and Theater clothing. Working so close to the men fighting, deaths of us nurses was unavoidable due to our hazardous duty.

Although it wasn't the best place to work, you learned to cope and didn't quit. We are all proud of you!

I think it was a good experience for you to work somewhere you're not familiar with. It gives you more experiences in life.

Everyone respect your commitment in personal sacrifice to volunteer to help the soldiers. I had felt the exact same. I'm glad you were able to endure through such harsh conditions and made it just like the ones at home.

Your story reminds me of place I used to drive to, places I used to go to for help. As a Driver I had to drop casualties to the hospitals.

Working in far away medical care centers must have been such an eye opener because of the different work conditions. I respect your efforts that you put into your job despite the risky conditions. The job I had in Toronto as a factory worker was my first job and was not as hazardous as yours.
