I liked teaching. I still hear from students that I had. I like clinical teaching better than theory but I had 150 students to lecture to at USF. I didn’t like that. That was too big. I was a little disappointed, you know when I didn’t get tenure but I found it was a blessing in disguise. I told the Dean it was her loss not mine.

I was angry about it, and the faculty went to bat for me and she didn’t do anything. There were two of us because she had to eliminate people, but I think she punished me. I changed the curriculum for those students that weren’t taking any nursing subjects and they were frightened and the staff at the hospital – she used to be the OR supervisor.

She’s still alive. She’s a nursing nun. It was like the nun – it was sort of the nun in grade school. I didn’t like her. It was the same thing. This woman did something to me because I threatened her in some way, but you know I had good friends from USF.

So, I think the highs are that, you know, I was able to complete a degree on my own, no support from anybody, and work because I worked full time that whole summer. I went to night school every night so I could start graduate school in ’71. So I graduated from Holy Name in ’70, but I had an excellent education.
