Shrinks from the knowledge of.it, But the thought that she’ can help to re- Neve this suffering, and perhaps later 8 in life to prevent such sutening, helps " a to strengthen her, In the nurse's home she spends de- lighiful evexings with ‘her friends. Her days off give: her time for rest and recreation, Perhaps she. is)-@ country girl studying in a big city hog- = pital, and in her spare times. she can amuse herself in sightseeing. 4 oars As the probation period: passes ‘she At Least Two Years of Hard Work and Expert Training Required to Equip Women for War Hospital Service. The thought of the Red Cross nurse calls up a picture of self possession and efficiency. We see her in her white uniform passing from one’ hos- pital bed to another, combining tender- bess with skill in relieving suffering. We think of her always as a finish- realizes that nursing is not only. @ pro- fession, but an art. She formerly en- vied the surgeon's skill and the doc- tor's power to relieve pain. Now she finds that, though the surgeon: may perform a wonderful operadon and the doctor diagnose and prescribe skill- fully, their work is not complete, with- out hers, She shares in their art of curing. She must care for the patient during the critical period after‘an op- * eration, She must give the medicine the doctor prescribes. She studies her patients carefully. Not an expression, posture, movement, but has its meaning for her, She learns the simple nursing arts of lift- ing the sick, dressing their wounds, making their beds and feeding them. Her eyes become accustomed to signs of distress, and no mute message of appeal goes unrecognized. « The wouder of life unfolds before ber eyes ‘he presence of death hovers 1:-r, ans she enters into the fight ag < it with all her strength, unafraid a1.1 prepared. Her first vperation is a “never to be forgotten” event in her life, As she stands # the operating room. taking her padt in the drama a sense/of grave responsibility and awe overcomes her, and she rededicates herself to the lite work she bas chosen, ‘Thus she goes through the four pe- riods of training from probationer to junior and from senior to graduate, 1.—While the Practical Side of Nursing Is Emphasized In All the Train- fering have made her what she is. We know that slie is not a mail order product of a correspondence school. Let us examine the prozess that turns out this finished product of skill, dependability and sensibility, Let us consider the “raw materia” as it went into the hospital school for nurses and the work required to transform it into the Red Cross nurse of today, the light of service shining in her eyes, her whole being responding to the call of} « patriotism.
