Milford Memorial
Hospital News

Opportunities today for the we'll
prepared graduate nurse are al
most unlimited, ranging all the
way from general. duty to director
of nurses and nursing service.
Careful analysis of the number Of
nurses in the United States has
disclosed that there are not fewer
nurses but many more positions
available than there were ten years
or. more ago.
The well run hospital today can
not function without the graduate
bedside nurse. She is the one who
determines the quality of nursing
care the patients receive. 1t is this
group that the director of nursing
relies on to carry the burden of
the work.
Students in a school of nursing
are now expected to learn and
keep learning throughout the three
year course. No longer do we ex-
pect them to do most of the work.
Many of the routine duties are now
delegated to subsidiary workers
such as aides and Orderlies thus
giving the nurse more energy and
time for purely professional tasks.
Other fields open to graduate
registered nurses are industrial
nursing, school nursing, office
nursing, public health nursing, dis
pensary nursing and private duty
nursing. There is also a variety of
positions in the hospital including
head nurse, supervisor. clinical in
structor, educational director, sci
ence instructor, nursing arts in
structOr, operating room supervis-
or. assistant director and director
of nursing. Salaries for director
of nursing run as high as $S,500.0
per year. What the individual
nurse accomplishes in the nursing
field will depend entirely on her.
Graduates of the Milford Mem.
Orial Hospital School of Nursing
will find ample opportunity to pu
their talents to use in any one o
the above fields of work and should
find the results of their efforts t.
be most satisfying no matter wha
they select as their chosen field.

Mrs. Hall took her part in all
