I rg, iasciaoson OFNUigsiNca The instruction relativelto Asepsis is particularly complete. The importance of Surgical Cleanliness in obstetrics and surgery, and methods of sterilization are treated in full, and the minute instructions Qaccompanied by exercisesj for the preparation of the room, supplies, patient, and the nurse herself -give the student an absolute guarantee of success in this vital department of her work. The surgical lectures cover the practice of Surgical Nursing and Operative Procedures, so that when the nurse requires this knowledge in practice, she finds, as our students notinfrequently write us, little that is unfamiliar in the operating 'room or even in the various steps of the operation. Anesthesia, Bandaging and other subjects relating to surgery are treated with the most explicit instruction to the student. The latter part of this course embodies the latest and most effective -method of Care of the Surgical Patient After an Operation with especial directions in the treatment of complications. These lectures have been prepared by physicians of extended experience who have for years been engaged in hospital instruc- tion, and efvery nurse who accepts confinement or surgical cases will jind herself thoroughly equipped through these studies. t 39
