H. student nurses adventuring in a busy, bustling world: Ioking with each other when they come on duty, starched, and fresh, and beautiful at 7:00 A. M. Listening to the head nurse reporting in detail the acutely ill patients, their conditions and reactions. Taking temperatures and thriving under the admiration of the visitors, hearing, that same old witticism, OH, here's my smoke! , repeated now and again as they place thermometers into the patients' mouths. Smiling at the soft whistles ot the other male patients when they litt their patient's wrist for pulse counting. Making rounds with the doctors, departing from the group with a tremendous respect for the knowledge and skill of the physicians. Carrying out specific orders: nasal oxygen p. r. n., S. R. Penicillin 400,000 U., catheteri- zation stat., gratefully depending on the teamwork of hands and minds from the orderlies, pharmacy, storeroom, central linen room, cystoscopy, and sewing room. Deriving satisfaction from their own restraint when they tind the wards at 10:00 P. M. heedlessly awake as usual, and wanting everything trom hot cocoa to hot soup, not to mention a hot water bottle and a bedpan. Yes, the student nurses are right at home in this adult world ot living, dying humanity due to their excellent foundation in their basic program. Left to right- Betty Karnes, Marion Lambert, Sarah Weller, Betty Yeager, Patsy Burke, Mary I. Walker, Mrs. Marian Geisel and Dorothy Stahr
