The good ole days. No such things as wipes either, soapy washcloth to clean incontinent BM. Jesus, I remember using two flat sheets as the bottom sheet with nursing corners before we got fitted sheets.

We had fitted sheets, and we just got flat sheets again. Almost none of the nurses learned how to do corners because they didnt need to learn those in school. Fucking flat sheets. I want my fitted back.

My had (Germany nurse). And I guess they were too expensive or just thinner matherial so they decieded to bring in flat sheets. They still have the top sewn together so you can put them on like fitted sheet, but the rest you must do on your own.
