' THE NURSE WHO SUCCEEDS The course prepares students for professional nursing in the home. It is Written from the viewpoint of the practicing physi- cian, teaching what he requires of the nurse-a practical assist- ant-- rather than .to meet institutional requirements.

The patient or physician, when seeking a nurse, selects the one who is successful, Whether she be called trained or untrained, professional or non-professional, hospital or practical. It matters not what or where her train- ing, if she is proficient and superior in her qualifications for the case in hand. Whatever her training and Wherever found, this is the nurse who will supersede all others. NOAGE LIMIT QStudents under 19 not acceptedj We have no age limit. Qualihcation is our only require- ment.

Personality is at least halfuthe battle and our course is devoted to instructing the student in developing those characteristics that make the nurse sought because her presence is welcomed instead of endured. r THE VALUE OF A TITLE A I During the past ten years The Chautauqua School of Nursing and its work have been constantly before the American I bl' b h ,pu .IC y t e school's announcement in all'the leading maga- zines and literary and household journals g and before physicians in the columns of practically every medical journal. To this widespread knowledge of the school has been added the fame which has been the direct result of training the largest body of muses in existence today. Q By their conscientious mastery of the methods of nursing given in the C. S. N. Course, by their p unsparing and faithful efforts in the sick-room, and by their loyalty to physicians these earnest women have given the title, Chautauqua Nurse, deinite significance -a significance without parallel in the history of nursing organizations. It is in the value of this title, added to the value of the training given by the C. S. N. Course, that the graduate of The Chautauqua School of Nursing shares by her membership in this institution. IN CONCLUSION v ' Do you desire to improve your condition? Must you choose ya vocation? Would you adopt the most attractive pro- fession open to women today--a profession which will be of advantage to you all your life, whether you practice it or not? Then become a nurse. The ranks of this profession are not crowded, and you can in a large degree select your own surroundings, as well. as the time when you will or will not seek employment. With the increasing realization of the value of the professional nurse, the demand is increasing far more rapidly than the supply. For these reasons we believe there is no other vocation which possesses the attractive features of professional nursing. 55
