SUMMO COMMISSO MlSSI Twenty-Five t jf rovincla Yfrjental-J loSpitai Our affiliation at Ponoka is looked forward to with great anticipation because we’re entering a field of nursing which is entirely new to us. We go there feeling like “probies” and re¬ turn with some knowledge of a psychiatric hospital and the great need for trained personnel. We felt at home, in a resi¬ dence much different from our own and shared experiences with the P.M.H. staff who made us feel so much a part of their school. May our fellow affiliates enjoy this experience as we have. K. STEINHAUER and E. R. MCDONALD. It has been estimated that the average nurse on duty walks twelve to fifteen miles in one day. —Canadian Nurse. How about roller skates, Mr. Mutter, or bicycles like in Southern Rhodesia? CO-OPERATION— Miss Thomas: The Pediatrics Exam will be the multiple choice kind if I can get someone to do that much typing. Morison: I’ll do it!! Dr. Dobson: (answering the phone for the nurse while she was busy) Second East—Miss Ito speaking. Yes, she’ll do it right away.

Twenty-Four Archer Memorial Hospital illation at (Central y lbert a S anatorL um This year our affiliation at the Central Alberta Sanatorium has been shortened to a six week course, which gave us even less time to acquaint ourselves with the patient care and staff. However our time spent there was enjoyed and well worth look¬ ing forward to. We are very grateful to the instructress, Miss Wallace, for making our affiliation such a success. We sincerely hope that the subsequent classes will be able to continue affiliating there. G. CANN and R. LAFOY. A new opportunity was given to us this year, four students were sent to the Isolation Ward for two weeks to assist in the Poliomyelitis epidemic. We wish to express our appreciation to the staff and stu¬ dents who made this affiliation possible. K. HONG and C. DOIGE.
