    I was at USNH3 from 9/55 to 3/56 as an HN. Worked on all wards and pavilions except OB/GYN and Pediatrics. Transferred to US Naval Station Newport , M-2 Dispensary. My daughter was born at USNH3 in August of 1956. I have tons of stories, but most of you guys weren't even born yet.

    There was Chief Leonard and Chief St. Pierre when I was there.
    I visited Newport a few years back and it has morphed completely.
    It was the centre of my world for almost three years.

    I served at USN Hospital Newport RI from March 66 to Nov 66 spent five months working the newborn nursery nine months after the massive blackout on the east coast!  We had so many babies in the nursery that CSU pumped O2 in 24/7 to keep the C02 levels acceptable.  Naturally we had a spinal meningitis outbreak in the nursery then.  Left there and went to Vietnam with the 1st Marine Division.  Also the whole time I was there the bridge was being built.  You could hear those pile drivers 24/7.  Worked with Lois Chorey a civilian RN. Also LtJg Ethel Griffith.  Night turn what a trip. 21 days no day off.
