Maintain an even temperature in your ward by bringing in a scuttle of coal for the day's business.
Light is important to observe the patient's condition.
Therefore, each day fill kerosene lamps, clean chimneys and trim wicks. Wash the windows once a week. The nurse's notes are important in aiding the physician's work. Each nurse on day duty will report every day at 7 a.m. and leave at 8 p.m. except on the Sabbath on which day you will be off from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Graduate nurses in good standing with the director of nurses will be given an evening off each week for courting purposes or two evenings a week if you go regularly to church. Each nurse should lay aside from each pay day a goodly sum of her earnings for her benefits during her declining years so that she will not become a burden.
