6?- Sacred Heart Garmelx Sylilecf, .Q 4 , Www culture of the world's best literature. History, travel, and fiction, all store up and stimulate thought that benefit generally as well as equip the nu.rse's mind for her own and to her patient's advantage. You will have to meet all kinds of people. Welcome that nurse whose well-trained mind and general culture equals her special training in nursing. Join your nursing societies-local, state, and national. Take part in their activities. Do not be a free lance or become what this eventually oftentimes leads to-an outlaw in your profession. Be regular in your thought and actions, and if discouraged by the apparent irregularity of others at times, throw your strength to the maintenance in your organiza- tions with a regularity of real worth. Visit hospitals-the home of the trained nurse-coming back frequently to your own Alma Mater. But do not fail to visit others. Get over your wall. Walk the floors and visit the clinics whenever and wherever possible. Become well rounded thereby, and without any sacri- fice of loyalty to your own school, see that there is a world beyond your own. For you will learn sooner or later that this is so regardless as to whether you recognize the same or not. Do not let others dazzle you by their apparent superiority, but with a true sense of proportion maintain your position and learn from their work. i When you have an inclination and preference for some special branch of nursing, prepare yourself for it first by obtaining general nursing experience. It will serve you in good stead and lay a solid foundation for any special line of work that may be undertaken subsequently. Gradually direct your study and reading in the direction of your specialty, but only after you are sure that you have a special aptitude for this chosen line. Instead of drifting with the current, therefore, outline and lay plans for your present and future professional life. Even though you may be compelled to adjust and change these by unforeseen conditions. Do not permit yourself to be satisfied with present accomplishments without a proper ambition for advancement, or you will soon find your life a monotone, unstimulated and uninliuenced by the spice of progress in your profession. WM. A. 1-IAUSMAN, JR., Chairman, Training School Committee. Z0
