FUTURE NURSES J The principal object of the Future Nurses Club is to acquaint girls interested in that field with the nursing profession. Girls who belong to the club are helped in their selection of a school and they also learn about the opportunities of nursing. Another important aim of Future Nurses is to foster the development of student leadership. Throughout the year, the girls take part in many interesting activi- ties which have to do with nursing, Tours are made through hospitals and institutions so the girls may actually see nurses in action, The nursing profession is a noble one and those girls who intend to enter it take their club worlf seriously. f- 1 Parient's Doing Fine!
