ff 00021 TLIUFSCSS 9LlI'll'Cl NUISCS7 ALL HONOR TO You-the Graduating Class of 1943-for your one hundred per cent enrollment in the National Service, this step taken in response to our government's recent most urgent call for more and more registered nurses to fulfill the requirements of the United States armed forces. Every one of you has met the test and answered for herself when confronted by the necessity of making a most momentous decision. ln the tumultuous privacy of the storm each one has cried out: here am I, take mel To use a paraphrase for the 1943 Class of the Sacred Heart Hospital School of Nursing-herein, there breathes no nurse with soul so dead, who never to herself hath said this is my own, my native land. This Class has had another unique distinction, in the part it has played in extending a welcoming and helping hand to those who likewise are dis- playing a patriotic impulse with enactment, while preparing themselves as Nurses' Aides. Constantly enlarging demands of the armed forces for the services of professional nurses, have already and will deplete increasingly the ranks of those now nursing in our hospitals and in civilian life generally. As a complement, Nurses' Aides can do much to relieve and help the smaller number of student and registered nurses remaining to carry on the work in every section of our land. It is perfectly obvious that more and more trained nursing help is needed, and these Aides of the Most Gentle Profession have not only answered the clarion call of mercy in response to the prompting of their own conscience that they may give comfort and aid to the actual and potentially afflicted, but they have dedicated themselves and what is more, are preparing themselves as well, for comforting and restoring to health the suffering individual. This, whether the latter is the result of civilian or military disaster. The misdirection of power and force in the whole world, apparently fails to recognize the individual under the horrible conditions of mass conflict as is shown everywhere today. But after all, is this latter statement true and correct? Is the individual neglected when we have such glowing evidence to the contrary? No, fortunately it is not true, for medical care and nursing of the individual demonstrates the contradiction. The Nurses' Aides, like their big sisters-the registered nurses-with com- passion in their hearts and in the name of humanity, have not passed over on the other side in mind and body, as did the Priest and the Levite, but have undertaken laborious exacting training, to become intelligent Samaritans, for such a time when the hour of need may strike in our community.
