LIFE Of a TRAINED NURSE.

Many Duties Fall to the Lot of the Self
Sacrificing Women.
The number of books with their big,
unpronounceable names which nurses
in training have to study frighten
away all rattlebrained applicants,
leaving only the studious, determined
and reliable, says Donahoe's Magazine.
Heroines they are, every one of them
who finishes the course, as anyone
must see who has lived among them
and watched them through each busy
day, dressing wounds, bandaging and
making bandages and rollers and lin
ings of splints. cooking and serving
delicacies, dressing the newly born
and preparing the dead for burial and
making the rounds with physicians
and surgeons, from whom they receive
their practical training. In addition
to these few duties mentioned out of
the thousand and one that will suggest
themselves, they must attend lectures,
recitations and demonstrations, and
prepare for their own examinations,
which in some schools occur each
months. Even from this brief show
ing, it will be seen the life of trained
nurse is ceaselessly busy one, helpful
and truly noble, but in no way a sine
cure. No one but the fairly educated
and cultivated should enter the pro-
fession, since nurses should have these
qualifications quite as much as the
mechanical skill in order to render
