Arizona republican., 1922-02-05

is asking every nurse in Arizona TO
do this, and we have already adopted
and sent forward the following reso-
luton to the national committees
and l would like to see this resolu-
ton backed up by a big contribution
from the nurses of Arizona.
"'That it is the concensuse of
opinion of the Arizona State Nurses
association that the erection of a
monument to Miss Delano would not
be a true expression Of the life OF
Miss Delano, neither would such a
memorial meet with Miss Delano's
approval If Miss Delano were here
to make the decision. That Miss
Delano's life had been a life OF
service for humanity, and life OF
devotion to the nursing profession.
and we, the Arizona State Nurses
association desire to go on record as
recommending to the national COM
mittee of the Delano Memorial fund,
that this be a living memorial
memorial which will be of constant
service to members of her beloved
profession.
"'We suggest that money raised be
used to endow beds in hospitals IN
different sections of the United
States, to be used for the care Of sick
and destitute nurses, and that some
inscription be placed above said beds
to indicate that service given is
given in memory Of Miss Delano.'
II am sure / will not be disap-
pointed, for Arizona nurses are not
disappointing.
Il came into your state sixteen
monthspago with feeling Of super
iority for was not graduate of the
New York City School OF Nursing
and you were nurses who perhaps
had never seen our wonderful New
York and of course could not posi-
bly, be as well trained as we were
trained in the East.
"They say that pride goes before
fall and / was scheduled for that
particular fall for / found some OF
the best nurses in the profession
right here in Arizona. ! met the
principals Of your schools of nursing
Sister Evangelista of st. Mary's
Tucson, Miss Marcun of st. Joseph's
Phoenix, and Miss Burns Of the Ari-
zona Deaconess hospital, and / felt
of myself, rubbed my eyes, and real
lied that there We're other PLACES
besides New York | met three wo-
men all leaders in the profession, all
women the equal, IL not the superior
of many of the superintendent OF
our eastern schools.
II visited the schools of nursing
throughout the state, ! found well
equipped hospitals, comfortable
homes for our nurses and l found
everything that / would find in ouI
eastern schools. 7 was member OF
the committee selected to frame the
bin for the Standardization of nurs-
ing in Arizona, and again,I felt ci
myself and rubbed my eyes for
found that the ones who were work
ing hardest, who were thinking of the
most difficult things to meet, who
desired that our schools maintain O
high standard were the self same
superintendents.
ut is the duty of the state board
of nurse examiners to accredit these
schools and to inspect these schools
| Our inspector win have very little tC
do in this line for our schools are
too proud OF their standing, toe
anxious to rank at the very top tc
allow any slump in the standard they
| have already set for themselves; fol
we find our Arizona schools Eradu'
ating nurses of the highest type, ant
/ for one am proud to be identified
with the native-the Arizona gradu-
ate, the product of our own schools
of nursing within the borders OF Oul
| beloved Arizona"
