TWO KINDS OF TRAINED
NURSES


One of the men best informed re.
garding hospital practice recently
dropped the remark that the Trained
Nurses Of the United States are now
one of the most highly paid, highly
organized and overbearing Of all the
labor unions.
The service they can render ia a
real one, and there have been so few
trained nurses that they have all
found employment among the rich at
very high wages, and with many per-
auisites like opportunities to travel
with invalids. In order to retain
these advantages the number of nur-
SEES must be limited, and this limita-
ton the Nurses Union seeks to Sc
cure by making il more and more dif-
ficult TO enter the profession. OF
course the plea is raising the stan
dard."
On the other hand statesmanllke
physicians like the Mayo Brothers.
as well as certain hospitals Of high
standing. have set out to increase the
number of trained nurses, and to pro
vide a simple and practical training
that will make it possible for people
who are not millionaires to have
helpers at their sick.beds.
Naturally these efforts are hotly
resented by the Nurses Union. As
part of their propaganda an article
by their head organizer, Isabel
Stewart, appeared in last weeks Citi.
zen. She expresses her fear that it
may soon be possible for nurses with
real ability and skill to be obtained
by families that cannot pay more
than ''the modest sumo of SIS or at
most S25 a week.!
Now would it be a calamity il, we
common folks should be able to get
the services of helper in illness at
these modest figures? According to
w. /. King, whose book on incomes
in the United States is just out, less
than one person in "a among Ameri-
cans who have incomes at all have as
much as $40 a week. 1t is evident
then that the vast Sajority of US
must get help in sickness at these
modest figures or go without.
Isabel Stewart intimates that any
one who has not had three years
course in nursing is only pretender
like Dickens Sairy Camp. Is this a
fair or generous way to treat an eff
fort to provide some nurse-care in
reach of the common people? Is it
not a dog in the manger" attitude?

such a simple deed be carved in the

The most perfect picture ever con-

chapters of Genesis. But the charm of
that life was dispelled by the blight

their countless posterity. yet God did
not abandon His disobedient children.
He loved them. His love furnished an
antidote for their sin. Before they
left Paradise the gospel of salvation
was proclaimed. redemption offered
and righteousness provided.
There is every reason TO believe that
the guilty parents of the race accepted
the divine plan Of salvation when they
put on the robes of substitution God
brought to them. Wonderful indeed
must this all have been to them.
Oh, how could they sin In the midst
of love and light and liberty! They

course she chooses for those who are
TO serve the rich, OF to be superinten-
dents of hospitals and the like. But
has she any right to deny practical
nurses to those who need them? For
hospital to refuse to train any ex.
cept these super-nurses is like a navy
yard that turns out nothing but
dreadnaughts, when the navy needs
lighter craft as well!
Can life be saved and the sick be
made comfortable by persons who
have had less than this new three
year course? The conclusive answer
is that it has been done Nearly all
that has ever been done by nurses has
been done by those who have had far
less than three years in resident
training.
OF course much depends upon the
kind Of training given. In some hos
pitfalls girls get more the first three
, months than in other hospitals in
long years. The way to raise the
standard" would be to make the in
struction more systematic, varied
and intensive rather than to lengthen
the time Too much instruction is
given by physicians who scorn or
neglect all the principles of good
teaching. Many hospitals are so
small that little new experience can
be given after the first year.
But after all. what do we common
folks need in a nurse? She must
know how to understand and follow
the doctors directions-that is the
great thing. And next she must come
TO the bedside with real sympathy
and not with merely a professional
interest in a new case Some wo-

teurs-relatives and neighbors. II
would be better done il persons with
natural gifts in this direction could
have an attainable training, TO give
quickly the experience that could
come only slowly in private practice.
Any course Of training has its chief
value in starting the pupil in lines
of improvement that will be carried
on in her Independent work
