building on the occasion of its
dedication.
The Grier Building has the cana
city, to serve as the training school
and home for so student nurses. On
the first floor are the Glass Rooms
Chemistry and Dietetics Iabora-
tory, the Library and Reading
Room, the Recreation and General
Assembly Room, the Lounge and
Inc office of the Director of Nur-
ses. This floor provides the facili-
ties for the training program. A
careful examination of the e0ufD-
ment shows that the course of in
struction can be made completely
informative and thoroughly practic-
able. For example, the Dietetics La
boratory will be used for instruc-
ton of students in the correct
methods of preparing and serving
food to patients. It will be used also
as a lecture room for classes in nu-
triton in its relation to the chang
ing conditions brought about by
disease. The Chemistry Laboratory
will be used for instruction in phy-
siological chemistry as well az re-
lated subjects that are necessary
for an understanding of the physi-
co-chemical phenomena that are the
basis of life processes.
In the Nursing Arts Laboratory.
the students will have actual prac-
tlce in learning the necessary. .skflIs
that are absolutely indispensable in
patient care. These very practical
demonstrations instilI into the stu
dents the dexterity and the enthu-
siasm which mark the efficient
nurse.
On the second floor of the Grier
Building are the suites for the
House Mother, the Director and the
Assistant Director of Nurses and
the Nurse Anesthetists. The suite
for the House Mother comprises a
living room, a bedroom and bath.
One interesting feature Of the 1iy-
ing room is the cOmpIicated-appear-
ing panel Of signal lights and cleo
trio switches by which the House
Mother can, at a glance, check upon
the lights that may be in use in
the bedrooms of all student nurses
and control their operation by in
dividual switches.
The suite for the Director and
Assistant Director of Nurses COM
prises one living room, two bed
rooms and a bath. A similar suite
is available for the Nurse Anethe-
lists.
There are bedrooms on this floor
to accommodate 19 student nurses
with bath facilities at the rate Of
one to four.
On the third floor there are bed
room and bath facilities for 20
students, as well as large lounge
equipped with the all-impoftant
snack-bar. The illustrations on
these pages show something of the
quarters being provided in the
Grier Building.
The public is invited to Inspect
all Of these facilities Immediately
after the dedication service on Sat
urday afternoon.
AS you walk down the corridors
of this building and into the rooms
on each side, you will have a bet
ter understanding Of the great val
ue which this Training School and
Home will have for this communi-
,ty for many long years to come.
Truly, the patients who come to
the Milford Memorial Hospital will
benefit directly from the investment
made by the many contributors
who have brought this building
into being-Who have made it pos
sible to install the necessary equip
ment-and who will continue to
demonstrate their helpful interest
BY including our hospital among
their charities for regular support. |
