Time Required a THE GHAUTAU'QUA 1 ig?--lj, p p Q A w gp , r--J middle life can bring to her study a fund of experience and a ripeness and maturity of judgment which are an invaluable asset in nursing. Our experience proves that the age of enroll- ment depends upon the individual. We shall be glad to corres- pond with any one in doubt upon this point, advising her to the best of our ability, for we do not aim to enroll anyone in this institution who is not htted to realize its full benefits. r Inasmuch as the student who is dissatisfied withythe course within two months, may, by the terms of her contract, 'receive back all the money she has paid, the student who has any doubt in'these matters may undertake the course without any risk. We occasionally correspond with earnest women who realize their need for this instruction, but who fear either that they have passed the period for effective study, or that their educa- tional ability is insufhcient to meet the requirements of the course. After ten years' experience with thousands of nurses we can say to these women that a good common school edu- cation, supplemented by earnest and faithful endeavor, will enable them to master our course. And here again the stu- dent 'is amply protected by the two months' withdrawal clause previously mentioned. a - y The student of average ability and with a reasonable amount of leisure completes the- entire course in eight to twelve months. In cases, however, where students have had nothing to interfere with the studies, and have devoted themselves ex- clusively to them, the course has been completed in from six to seven months. The experienced nurse can finish the course in a still briefer period. i , t Should the work of the student be interrupted or should she for any reason fall behind in -her schedule, and extension of time will always be granted. f To the woman who is seeking a vocation we would suggest that her acquaintance with the residents of the town in which she is living is oftentimes her most valuable asset, and nowhere can this asset be better utilized than in the profession of nursing. 34 'PVC 'za-v-.a...'
