I worked in the Medical Unit with Joan for many years, and I have strong memories of her as a reliable and responsible nurse who used a great deal of common sense to bring comfort and care to the bedside. As colleagues we were required t navigate huge changes to the scope of practice for nurses, and Joan managed this with dignity and humour. My condolences to you all.
