Miss Louise Kieninger. formerly of
Christ hospital, who is snow doing a
wonderful work in Rio de Janiero in
establishing nursing as a profession,
has written to friends telling them of
some of the things which are being
accomplished along that line in Brazil.
Brazil says Miss Kieniuger,
has few nurses. Brazilian doctors
have travelled in the States and in
Europe and have brought back reports
of the work of nursing. 1t is not an
exaggeration to say that nursing is
scarcely more advanced than in Flor
eEce Nightingales time. The largest
hospitals are under the direction OF
the Sisters of Charity who do the ad-
ministrative work, but the nursing OF
patients is done by unframed women,
often by newly arrived immigrants
who tho kind to patients are unfit
to-give intelIigentcare.
IAN American tourist who was i'll
in a hotel here in Rio asked the cham
bermaid to do something for her. In
deed, Madam replied the maid, I am
not a nurse The service was quite
beneath her dignity. I fear this is the
popular conception of the nursing pro-
fession in Brazil. However, many in
telligent women of the better class
have travelled widely and have on oc-
casion been sick in hospitals abroad, |
some worked in French hospitals dur
ing the war. This group has formed /
a nucleus which is helping to Gre
ate opinion in favor of skilled nursing
in Brazil
Slavery was abolished here only |
thirty-two years ago." writes Miss
Kieninger, ssand so it would be diff
cult for any group of people to become
accustomed in so short a time to the |
idea OF working with their hands. The |
girls who are taking nursing refuse |
to carry a patient q tray, for that is |
a servants work Women in Brazil |
De Janiero, of course, has become very
cosmopolitan but in the smaller towns
a woman almost never reaches a suf-
