EXCHANGE NURSES (Continued from page 3) Berilie; “It surprised us all to learn that you really do say ‘ni’ain’ liere in the South. We had heard it in (he American movies that came to Australia, but we thought it was just a part of the movies. ” ]\Iargaret: “There’s another expression that we don’t use that you use quite a bit here. You say ‘excuse me’. We say ‘beg your pardon’ or ‘sorry’.” Other Differences And there are other differ ences. Nursing schools in England and Australia use “badges” (liins) to identify their grad uates rather than different nursing caps, as is the custom here in America. The veils worn by Margaret and Berilie are like those Avorn by all registered nurses in Aus tralia. Caps are worn in Austra lia by nursing students, with the veils being worn only after “prize giving” (graduation). (It is interesting, too, that ac cording to Australian hospital regulations, only two inches of hair is allowed to be uncovered by the veil.) Ilanora’s headpiece is the standard headdress for all registered nurses working in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bir mingham. The certificates earned by the three visiting nui’ses also differ somewhat from our own “R.N.” ilanora earned her State Reg istered Nurse (“S.R.N. ”) C'ertifieate from the Queen Eliza beth School of Nursing in Bir mingham Hospitals, Birming ham, England, ilargaret and Berilie earned their Registered General Nurse Certificates (in formally abbreviated as “T.N.” for “Trained Nurse”) in Syd ney, Australia—]\Iargaret at Saint Vincent’s Hospital and Berilie at The Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children. All three also have what is termed a “double certificate”. This certificate is an adjunct to the general training and is earned after twelve months of extra training. This second certificate certifies each nurse as a ‘ ‘ State Certified Midwife. ” As this second certificate implies, Ilanora, ilargaret and Berilie are certified in their own countries to deliver babies. Al though a doctor is always pres ent in the delivery room (to as sist if complications arise), the actual delivery is done under the direction of the certified mid wives. Although the certificates for English and Australian mid- wives are the same, the mid wifery customs are different. In Australia, all women must go to the hospital or a private doctor for their prenatal (“antena tal”) and postnatal care, and all babies are delivered in the hos pital. In England, however, where Hanora did her training, it is still customary for “nor mal” deliveries to be done in the homes by certified midwives. (“First babies” are not consid ered “normal” deliveries, aiul these are delivered in a hos pital.) If complications do arise during a home delivery, the mid wife can contact the hosi)ital to send out a “Plying S(]uad” to the home. This ‘ ‘ Plying Squad ’ ’ is similar to an ambulance which is on a twenty-four hour alert, set up with emergency equipment, and staffed by a doctor and otlier necessary pro fessional help. Students are per mitted to join the “Plying Squad” if they are on hand and ready to go when the “alert” is received. A Double Exchange The ANA Exchange Program is just that—an exchange. And it is the hope of Duke Medical (Center that not only will Han ora, Berilie and Alargaret benefit from their visit here, but that the Medical (’enter will also benefit from this opportunity to exchange ideas and information, both })rofessional and cultural, with these three “ambassadors” from Ireland, England, and Australia. In Memory of Williatn A. Gay In early August, Duke Medi cal Center lost a friend and a faithful and well known em ployee, Mr. William Arthur Gay, age 58. ]Mr. Gay was a memorable man. He meant much to many with his perpetual good humor, his kindness and his sincere intere.st in others. One of the jMedical C!enter staff', a close friend of Mr. Gay’s, noted just after his friend’s death ‘ ‘ The grief of the Medical (’enter, alone, is a testimony not only to the significant accomplishments of his work, but to the life he lived among us. He meant much to us.” When Mr. (Jay joined the Medical C’entei' .staff' in August, 1961, he was connected with the Medical Center business office as a night business officer. In ilarch, 1964, ilr. Gay was selected to serve in the i)osition of Unit Administrator. He worked closely with this experi mental form of hospital adminis tration until the time of his death. Mr. Gay was boi'n in Newport News, Virginia and was edu cated in the Richmond, Virginia city schools and at tlie Richmond Professional Institute. In 1955 he moved his family to Durham. Prior to joining the ]\ledical ('enter staff', he was connect(‘d with Griffith Motor (’ompany and Alexander ^lotor (’ompany. He was a veteran of World War II. ^Ir. Gay is survived by his wife, JVIrs. ilarion (Jay of Uni versity Apartments, Durham, one son. Dr. William A. (Jay, Jr., also of Durham, one daughter, Mrs. John F. Thomas of Wil mington, Delaware, one step daughter, Mrs. M. L. Griffin of San Francisco, California, and five grandchildren.
