Nursing as a Profession.
In order to gain admission to the
training school of any good hos
pital the applicant must be of good
character, in sound health and
have a good, common school edu
cation. A candidate whose1 refer
ences show that' she has these
qualifications may be accepted on
probation for a term not generally
exceeding two months. During
the probationary term she is care
fully observed, and if fhe gives
evidence that she, possesses the
qualities that are essential for a
nurse, she is accepted as a pupil.
Among the qualities, the posses
sion of thorough self-control, tact
which may be said to be sancti
fied common sense and earnest
ness are regarded as among the
most essential. A true nurse must
possess the nobility of character
which teaches her to respect confi
dences and appreciate the full dig
nity and importance of her profes
sion. - -
She must be sympathetic, gentle
and patient. Her charge will often
be irritating and unreasonable, when
she is weary and worn with anxiety
and watching, but she must not
give way to irritability. She must
be alert, practical, quick to save
herself useless routine, and to em
ploy her time to the best possible
advantage.
- The" usual age of accepted pro
bationers is between twenty and
thirty-five years. Only those who
are accepted after the usual two
months probation are given an al
lowance. This varies, in different
hospitals, from $6 to $10 a month
for the first or junior year, and
from $10 to $15 a month for the
second or senior year. Board,
lodging and washing are furnished
without charge, and in sickness all
pupils have gratuitous care. The
nurse, therefore, has the benefit of
a training free of expense, and she
is self-supporting from the begin
ning.. Naturally, the number of appli
cants greatly exceeds the number
which can be received. It often
occurs, however, thar applicants
fail to respond promptly, if at all,
when notified that they may pre
sent themselves for examination!
As promptness is one of the first
requisites of a good nurse, the ones
who are dilatory or tardy in their
responses are not noticed, and the
names of such applicants are drop
ped from the r6117
Then another weeding out oc
curs during the probationary pe
riod. Very many accepted candi
dates prove utterly unsuited to the
work and are permitted to leave at
the expiration of their probation.
The probationer is afforded ample
opportunity tosee the work-in its
most disagreeable and exacting
conditions. In case of rejection,
the reason is not given to the can
didate. This is clearly explained
to all applicants.
- The course of instruction ex
tends from two to three years. It
consists in part of lectures on the
general principles of nursing; the
observation and recording of symp
toms ; elementary physiology, anat
omy and hygiene; materia medica ;
massage and a course of gynaeco
logical nursing. Practical instruc
tion is given at the bedside on the
dressing of wounds, application of
blisters, poultices,cups and leeches ;
bandaging and making rollers ;
making beds; changing draw
sheets; moving patients; prevent
ing bed sores, etc. Nurses are
held responsible for the t orderly
condition of their wards, which in
cludes the care of linen closets,
etc., and in addition to actual
nursing they must attend to many
details connected with the charge
of patients. A course in the diet
kitchen is also an important fea
ture of the training, and in this
connection pupils learn to prepare
broths, jellies, light puddings and
other dishes suitable , for invalids.
A very large proportion of young
women who. come to the training
schools come from the country,
and this is better because they are
more likely to attend to their work
and to have lets social diversions
to.divide their attention .than pu
pils whose homes are in. the city or
near the hospitals which they at
tend. : ' !
Nursing starts from the cities
because it is there that the great
hospitals and their training schools
are situated. People who have be
come accustomed to calling upon
trained nurses in the cities natur
ally feel 'that they must receive!
the same care when they become
ill upon their summer vacations,'
and send to the cities for profes
sional nurses ; thus the sphere of
the trained nurse is constantly wi
dening. Again, young physicians
who have served in hospitals real
ize the need of competent nurses
for their patients, and they natur
ally send to the hospitals for themj
Of course, the salary paid in the
country is not so large as that re
ceived for city practice, but the
expenses in the country are'much
less than in the city. When one
takes into account that even a pop
ular nurse is seldom constantly
employed, and that she Is always
at an expense in retaining a room,
even when not occupying it, anil
the further fact that most nurses
have others dependent upon them
for help or support, the salary re
ceived is not extravagant.
All people who require the ser
vices of trained nurses cannot af
ford to pay $25, or even $10 a week
for this luxury. To meet the need
of people who can only pay small
sums, and. for that large class who
are usually on the doctor's calling
list as "free patients," a system of
visiting nurses has been devised in
various cities, notably in Boston,
and- the experiment, which is re
garded as one of vast importance
both to the profession of medicine
and to Buffering mankind as well,
is being watched with the keenest
interest. ... . jj
By this system trained nurses
are prepared to go from house to
house, dressing wounds, giving
medicines, taking temperatures
and doing other necessary things
which the family cannot do. The
nurse acts as instructor, and gives
lessonB in dietetic cooking and
otherwise instructs her patients
how to care for themselves. The
fee ranges from fifty cents to $2 a
visit, according to the means of
the patient and the number of
visits necessary. -
By this movement the entering
wedge has probably been driven
which shall open the way for the
poorer classes to receive free nurs
ing as they can now receive gratui
tously the services, of the most
skilled surgeons- and physicians
either in private practice or at
tached to the great hospitals
throughout the country.
It is not too much to predic
that towns and cities will soon
find an appropriation for provid
ing skilled nurses for the poor of
their communities, as essential
and important to the civic life as
the maintenance of clean: streets
and a scientific, sanitary system of
plumbing, inspection of food, or
even of free education- that bul
wark of civilization. I
Thus, in spite of growing com!
petition, widening fields will ever
present themselves to the skilled
nurse. : . -
Looking for Clients.
A lawyer in Chattanooga, Tenn., sends
out a coupon entitling the holder to a
ten-minute consultation, free of charge.
With the coupon goes a marvel of
adsmithery rampant, from which this
isan extract : j
Knowledge is power. It is the weak,
ignorant lawyer who tells you he has
a 'puir with the judges. Don't listen
to such talk. The lawyer who tells
you he "stands in with the judge" will
rob you if you don't watch him. Did,
you ever lose a case that everybody
said that you ought to win? Think a
moment and see. If you lost, can yob
not now see where you ought to have
won? Was your lawyer's explanation
of "Why You Lost" satisfactory ? Your
lawyer ought to know what is the best
thing for you to do and advise you Ac
cordingly. Should you give me yotir
business thi3 is what I will do. If you
have a good case I will win it for you.
If yoa cannot win I will tell you s,
and charge you nothing for the in
formation. A little advice might save
you a world of trouble, a lawyer's fee
the good-will of your neighbors. With
lawyers as with every one else, it is the
man who knows what to do and how
toilo it that you want when you are
about to get into a lawsuit. 1 practice
the law as it is and win by giving care
ful, patient, thorough work to ever
case. I take no doubtful case. If you
are in trouble I would like to talk
with you about it. If you have neither
troubles nor lawsuits you are fortu
nate, and I congratulate you. Whether
you have business or not, I will be
pleased to see you at my office when it
is your pleasure to call. National Ad
