Sister?
Blinks. Well, we have a few nuns who are nurses locally, but they are mostly in their upper 50's/60's...
Matron?
Never heard of a nurse called that.
~LOL~
"As the language progresses"
I'm sure this PC trend is not confined to the British, as it reflects a move away from gender-specific terms, and it works both ways: I gather that nurses are not called Sister or Matron any more, but Charge Nurse and Head Nurse.
