This is my class... graduated in 1972..I can name these peeps... they changed the uniforms soon after that, but I can understand why someone thought it was a class from the 50's. There are plenty of these classmates alive still. we are in our mid-50's and almost no one stayed in the state hospital system.. we all moved away... having had enough of it then, but time has made these years more precious to us... and value the education we got there.. We knew we were getting a good education WHEN we were there... It was awesome. I live in Texas now, moved from Baldwin NY in 1982... still a good nurse...nursing administrator now. They taught us integrity in nursing you don't see at all now.
