   Are student nurses considered Charladies?

   • Student nurses often begin their training as housemaids or charladies for a great part of their time in hospital. Of course, there is also alternative work for them—as lavatory cleaners and charladies. But these charladies were then in their late 50s or 60s, and they were considered old ladies.

   Should we train nurses to be Charladies?

   • Meals on wheels for the elderly are becoming a treat from the past and home helps are once again becoming the charladies of the rich.
