THE MAID NURSE.
4 CALLING WHICH STANDS MIDWAY
BETWEEN MAID AND NURSE.
An Opportunity For Refined Women
Who Are Looking For Something
to Do-The Training Necessary and
the Pay to Expect

IHy iNpect.
At present the trained nurse. after n
brilliant history, is suffering something Of
an eclipse This is not just. nor is it like
ly to he permanent. Because there are
unworthy members of the profession does
not in the least alter the value of the
worthy, earnest, self sacrificing nurse,
whose name is legion.
However, the fact remains that in
many households the trained nurse is not
used in sickness, often through inability
to pay for her services and often through
this prejudice against the profession as a
whole.
This gives chance for women to fol
low calling which takes its place mid
way between lady's maid and nurse and
which might be called that Of maid
nurse" OF course the cases to which
maid nurse is called are never Of a grave
or desperate character. For those only
the trained nurse can be used. But there
are innUmcrah.e cases Of inyalids who for
a longer or shorter illness do not require
the skill Of trained nurse, welcome as
tha, might be were all things equal For
them an that is needed is kindly. clean.
conscientious maid with some tact and
great willingness 10 learn. Hands and
feet being denied the patients they still
may use their heads and let their maids
supply the missing members for a price
quite within reach Of a modest purse.
To a girl or woman seeking such
place we might say generally that the
pay should be from 81 to s. week, ac-
coraIhS To conditions, night nursing or
much responsibility beng OF course the
consiH'ratIohS Tor the higher sum.
