Hi Fritz and welcome from Kansas !! I’m a grumpy old Scotsman and I have travelled a bit including Kansas. But now I’m retired at 80 and we walk with our wee dog along the The Roman Ridge.

Who is Matron?

Thank you all so much for the welcome.

Can someone tell me when we’re allowed to post without waiting for it to be approved? Not something I’m used to.

Fritz
your most welcome here but you have to use English not American spelling

"Healthcare Matrons (NHS)

In the UK, matrons are highly experienced, senior nurses who hold significant authority, clinical responsibility, and leadership. [1, 2]"

But it is often taken as jest in hospitals - one time it was famous for films like Sid James, Hattie Jacques…British of course !!

There is no such thing as a British language only an English one
