Orangutans at last & relinquish registra

I woke to an email from the NMC confirming my registration has ceased ...44yrs after I started nursing at Mauldeth House ..never thought then I'd be in Borneo, 44yrs later ..In introducing myself to various people today I felt really emotional that I'm no longer a registered nurse....but its time and I know I've no intention of working as a nurse again, though I had and still have intentions of trying to do something nursing related in a volunteer capacity..not sure how this change will affect that intention now
The Driver from the project collected me from the hotel and then two others ...a lady called Dawn from Cleveleys and the other a girl called Lou from Austria who also has British parents and been to uni in the UK.
We have got on well and have rooms next to each other as it happens.
En route to the project we had to have covid testing...I was negative.
Arrival at the sanctuary we experienced a huge tropical thunderstorm with really loud thunder ..I still don't like them...but possibly getting bit better at coping.
The room here is much better than the turtles 🐢 project and I'm coping with the food so far...I have also had a Magnum ice cream....not seen one for 2 months .
We have had induction talk and a walk around some of the project, where we have seen some orangutans.
I'm really pleased with things so far, though disappointed to learn there's no handling of any baby orangutans and not really going to see them either 😕...
The group are nice and once again are mainly from UK or Oz.Read more
