Six Months Course
in Trained Nursing

George Washington University hos
pital at Washington is inaugurating a
SIX months course in nursing. This
step is due to the alarming shortage
OF trained nurses which is being felt so
keenly not only in Washington but
throughout the country and is causing
intense concern in the medical world.
The plan to provide short course
In nursing, 1t is stated, grew out of the
TACT that during the war many wom-
en-, prominent In the social circles of
Washington and New York, expressed
desire to take up nursing but the
three years training required to be-
come a graduate nurse soon checked
their ambitions in this direction
However, they have persuaded the hos
pital authorities that short course in
nursing might bring gratifying results.
and the decision to give six months
training period followed.
The course is special one and will
not conflict with the regular three
year course offered by this and other
hospitals. 1t will, however. give all
who enroll some beneficial knowledge
OF the rudimentary principles of nurs-
ing. The superintendent of the hos
pital is anxious that a number Of young
women will embrace this opportunity
to enter field which offers so many
advantages and opportunities for use
