MIR. Edgar Hamilton and wv" no

A HOSPITAL NURSE.
WHAT A WOMAN WHO DESIRES TO
BECOME CINE SHOULD DO.

Application to the superintendent of "A
Training school Is the First Step--The
Period of Probation-hd for
Young Women of Intelligence.
Many comprehensive and exhaustive ar
tlclcs have been written on the life and
work of trained hospital nurses, but as yet
little has been said concerning their pre-
limiuary instruction, either practical or
theorctical and still this is not the least
interesting phase of the nursc's career.
Not so many years ago convacscing pa
tients were of some service in their stronger
moments, and some of these, having ac-
quircd thorou9hncss of care and n pr3c-
tical efficiency, were employed rs regular
nurses.
Oftcntimes there was an extreme scarcity
in the number Of nurses, and it is related
that tour of the 'employment' Offices Of
the city has been made, aud the more re-
spectacle Of the applicants for positions
selected as assistants to the nurses. IN
sine, when experience and intuitivc knuwl-
edge Of the art Of caring for the sick had
perfected their practical training, they
we're graduated into the ranks Of nurses,
and some Of the more adept became head
nurses and superintendent Of nurses.
But this WIS an octave or more Of years
ago. This was during regime when the
supply was not nearly equal tothe demand
and when ,arnaritauisu did not walk hand
in hard with intelligence and culture.
Tho training school for nurses. however,
has ut once and for ali time put an end to
the practical training only. and now the
trained nurse is mistress Of theory, both
surgical end medical This is especially
true OF the City hospital. The training
school at this institution is the largest in
the country, and it's popularity and rccog
nzcd worth are 0ttc,ted by the 700 ap
plicants Tor the forty vacant places Of onc
year.
Until recently there were two methods
Of managing the nurses training schools.
There We're cooperative organizations.
some of which were independent of, but
the greater number attached to. some hos
pital having wards for the sick, and there
were training schools combined under one
mana cement, generally the trustees or
managing board Of the hospital.
Tho Boston City Hospital Training school
is controlled by the trustees Of the hos
pital, like all other departments OF the hos
pital service The superintendent Of the
hospital has the general supervision of all
matters relating I'D the school, its course Of
work and study, lectures and discipline.
The superintendent OF nurses has the i'm
mediate charge Of all the nursing in the
hospital, of all nurses employed in the
wards and also tie instruction and nun

school. All female nurses in the hospital
