DEDICATED nurse Betty Harvey is finally retiring at the age of 80 ? after more than 50 years serving in her profession.
Mrs Harvey began her training as a pupil nurse at the Ingham Infirmary, South Shields, in 1962, after a tutor on a first aid course spotted her potential, and suggested she should apply.
She qualified as a state-enrolled nurse in 1964 and, apart from a short time on the wards, spent most of her career as a theatre nurse.
Mrs Harvey previously retired when she was 65, but was persuaded to come back to South Tyneside District Hospital part-time, so she could continue to share her vast experience.
