Her successes will be their successes, her victories, their victories 5 for in the good fortune of their nurses do those of the institution see the fruits of their labors, the unsought reward for their efforts, and the honor and glory of God being furthered here on earth. The nurse will long remember those doctors, nurses, and supervisors who were ever present and ready to advise or lend an experienced hand when she, as a student nurse, encountered difficult and trying moments. The graduate nurse has increased and more burdensome responsibilities Her reputation as a good nurse will depend entirely on her conduct and man ner under such responsibilities Avain and again, with such conditions con fronting the nurse, her Christian virtues will be put to the test Difficult de CISIODS will have to be made and perhaps in situations most unfavorable, but time and again those deeply rooted principles triumph and the nurse proves herself a credit to her training school, for with such a training, she IS endowed with those principles of Christian ethics, noble aspiration, and lofty ideals which keep her ever thoughtful of the responsibilities with which she was entrusted A patient being cared for by such a nurse quickly comes to the conclusion that she is not an ordinary nurse Her edifying mannerrsms be speak a strong character, a well developed mind, an affable and understand ing nature Flowing from these qualities comes a cheerful nurse A pleasant person can fully appreciate the joy and comfort of those seemingly insignifi cant gestures Truly is such a nurse called a ray of sunshine shedding its warmth on a cold heart and its light on a dreary soul The mam virtue from which all others arise is that of humility The truly humble nurse is the ideal nurse To her duty comes first and always, the comfort and care of her patient before her own convenience and legitimate pleasure Always thoughtful of the progress of her patient, she sacrifices her time and energy so that pain and suffering might be more readily eased or completely dispelled Rightly have nurses been called angels of mercy for who else gives so generously of their time, abilities, and efforts so that the sufferings of humanity might be alleviated?

l CA gf 0002100 The iiritues o a uirse QViewpoint of a Bystanderj WHAT A NOBLE IDEAL, aspiration to a life of service for suffering humanity 3 acting as a guide in restoring those bodies broken down by disease and acci- dent to a new and better existence, being a source of hope and consolation to those who, because of their misfortune, may be on the verge of despair! Having offered herself, along with all the powers and abilities which she possesses, a potential nurse enters a period of training, willing to submit her- self to innumerable hardships. What, therefore, prompts a young lady to leave all and enter into a state of life which demands so much of her? It is, with- out a doubt, the response to the urging of an unselfish love for her fellowmen in whom she sees the image and likeness of God. A three-year course is skillfully arranged so as to develop those latent quali- ties which are so necessary for an ideal and successful nurse. Working faith- fully and following meticulously the instruction of her superiors, the student nurse gradually becomes more skilled in her tasks and duties. Her knowledge of medicine and its handmaids increases, her hands and fingers become more adept and agile in assisting at operations and complicated cases. ln general the student feels herself getting closer to her goal. In addition to all this, however, the nurses, training develops the higher faculties of her soul. Being well instructed with the true and firm ethical principles, a strong will is developed together with a heartfelt desire to ful- fill all duties, at all times, in the best possible manner. The nurse .always remembers that education is the stronghold in her quest for success, and that education nurtured with firm Christian principles is her strongest ally in the attainment of her ideals. Material progress alone will not endure. To be successful as a nurse, as in any other walk of life, one must build safely upon a sound moral foundation. The nurse too, must be strong in virtue, or be an ethical failure. Take away those virtues of patience, kindness, humility and perseverance which we Hnd in our nurses, and you no longer have a nurse, only a cold, selfish, and hard-hearted mass of humanity remains. Living in an environment which tends to foster the former virtues is indeed the good fortune of a student -nurse. Always mindful of the success that someday will be achieved, the nurse Sixty-Iwo g ilu!
