My boy would not be happy with anyone
but me-" pleaded a mother with the doctor
who was urging a trained nurse to care for
a child threatened with pneumonia. HE
wouldn't let her do the things for him that
l do"
To her credit be it said that the moth er
rejoieed when her boys improved condl-
ton and content with his nurse proved the
doctors judgment to have been in the
right.
',She took fine care of me. announced the
patient the first morning after the nurse
had taken charge. You know, mother.
would have been sorry to ask you to get
up and down all the while. but she was right
here, wide awake, and whenever felt bad
she gave me drink or an alcohol rub or
sponged me off or did something like that
and | wasn't afraid would tire her all
out, because that was what she was here
for."
The knowledge that that is what she IS
here for" is one of the considerations which
make the trained nurse more valuable than
members of the family. She is following her
business when she waits on you hand and
foot; she feels you are in the wrong when
you try to spare her by going without the
things you need. She impresses 1t upon
you that you are to turn to her In every want
and II she is the right sort she makes you
think you are granting her pleasure as
well as a duty when you tell her how to
ministerfo your comfort
More than this, she knows how to take
care of YOU Long experience has taugh,
her how to lift you and turn you and feed
you and wait upon you. She knows how to
adjust bandages. how to pile up pillows so
that they will be support in just the righ,
way, how to arrange the covers to the best
effect, how to shade the light and direct the
air from the window. All these branches
of knowledge are part of her stock in trade,
the qualities which fit her to be the best
kind of trained nurse
SO much for her relations towards you!
How about yours toward her? How shall
the trained nurse be treated? What Is her
standing in the household?
That depends good deal, of course, upon
the sort of household she enters. You kno "
very well there are many different kinds of
these In one the nurse is considered as lit
tie more than servant or at best an autom
atom, She is hired to discharge certain du-
ties and having done these properly no
further thought is given TO her. | regrst
to say there are even establishments In
which her need of food and rest is ignored.

Cossiping about Patients.


BY this l do not mean that they gossiped
ABOUT their other patients. One of the first
principles for nurses guidance must bel
discretion, and the old saying that dog
which will fetch bone will carry one is
Immediately suggested by the repetition on
the nurses part OF any bit of talk about
houses where they have been employed and
patients whom they have nursed.
have had nurses In my home for weeks,
SO that they have come to seem like old
friends and have talked with them freely
on many subjects without ever hearing
from them the mention of name or of
clew which would give me any idea of the
identity of those of whom they have told
me interesting tales. More than this. no
bit of scandal has escaped them. and all
my converse with them has given me the
comfortable sensation that since they
brought no gossip to me they would take
none away with them Their experience
has given them wide views of life, their
observations are we'll worth hearing, and
they draw deductions which are often dis
tinctly illuminating.
The old days of the Sairey Camp type
are long-and happily-past. There are still
women who go into the nurses profession
merely means of livelihood. and even
among these there are good workers. con-
scientious and skilled. But I like best
those who take up nursing because of their
inborn love for the work or as means of
service. To me they seem more dedicated
to the great effort of relieving pain and
suffering of making life easier for the sick
and helpless.
But are there then. no poor nurses? In
deed there are; and grieve to say that
some of them are extremely Objectionable.
Certain of them have come my way, either
by observation or by hearsay. There was
the middle aged woman who said she had
seen better days and lamented constantly
that she should have TO descend to the
menal Offices" as she called them, con-
nected with the care of her patient, and
made the entire family feel guilty of
cruelty in that they benefited by her offices
There was the silly young thing with her
head full of her admirers. who dressed her
self up :" fit to kill +" whenever she went
out. (Truth obliges me to say that she
took good care Of her patient. however)
There was the other one who informed
the invalid upon whom she was In attend
ance that her three preceding patients had
all died. There was still another who sai
on the arm of a chair and swung her feet
and whistled in the intervals of waiting on
her nervous patient
Undesirable as were all these, they can
not be taken as representatives of their
class. Rather are they rare samples of what
the trained nurse ought not to be- and a
striking contrast to the average OF their
profession The majority Of these. in my
belief. are noble, hard working, conscien-
tious women who help to make the dark
places of suffering petter and brighter by
their presence and their work.

Mrs W. s. IT,
Thank YOU for the suggestions. The lirst
will be of value to some Of the women who
know of no use for old stockings except to
make busters or iron or pot holders of them.
l confess that until now the petticoat solu-
tion had not occurred to me and l am won
dering IL such petticoat could not be made
of old silk stockings. These are so much
less expensive now than ever before that
they are generally worn in the summer and
at other seasons. as WELL and the feet
always give way while the rest of the
stocking is in good condition. Why could
not these we'll preserved legs be converted
into a snugly fitting petticoat which would
be OF much the same texture as the silk
Jersey skirts?
