NURSES HERE GET NEW HOME

The directors of the Milford Me-
mortal Hospital have purchased the
property on South Walnut street,
known as the Jay Macklin Home,
and plan to convert it into a grad
uate nurses home.
They also own the q. Layton
Grier Home on Lake View avenue
and this will be utilized to accom-
modate student nurses. The Grier
property has been selected for the
student nurses, as it contains
rooms that can be converted into
study and lecture rooms.
These quarters will be used until
new addition can be construct
ed on the site of the hospital.
Some time ago a campaign was
conducted here and money raised
to build a nurses home adjacent to
the hospital proper, but on account
of the present high cost of mate
rial, and building operations, it was
deemed wise not to construct this
building at the present time.

Milford Memorial
Hospital News

A hospital is only as good as its
nursing staff. If nurses are mat
tentive to duty and slovenly the
hospital soon gets a reputation of
being poorly managed and a place
to stay away from when one is
ill. On the other hand if nurses
are we'll grOomed, neat, alert, cOur-
teous, pleasant and business like
with an air of friendly interest,
confidence is readily established
and patients will willingly come
for care when it is required. We
believe the nurses at the Milford
Memorial Hospital reflect such an
attitude in dealing with the ill and
injured and inspire the confidence
of both physician and patient.
They are only human beings sub
ject to all the emotions and frail-
ties of human nature. They get tir-
ed, energy lags and often one
nurse is faced with enough tasks
to ordinarily keep three or four
people busy. To remain courteous
and cheerful at such times of
stress and strain should bring
forth our greatest admiration fol
these young women who so read,
lily give of themselves so thai
someone else may suffer less. We
are still short of nurses and it il
our hope that more young wOmer
in the community will come to ap
preciate the standards set in theil
hospital and evidence their inter
est in the institution by enrolling
as student nurses in the MILFORD
Memorial Hospital and thus insur,
the kind of nursing care each on,
of us expects to receive when w
are ill.,
