Sister Mary Kevin, R.S.M., R.N.A., M.A. Director In the Classroom Saint Catherine ' s Hospital JLounded thirty -one years ago by the Sisters of Mercy, St. Catherine ' s hospital this year conferred Graduate Nurse diplomas on twenty-one seniors of the school of nursing. Most of the students ' nursing training is obtained in the hospital itself, which was originally instituted for the exclusive treatment of women and children. Lack of demand for this specialized treatment, however, necessitated a change to general treatment. The school offers a Graduate Nurse degree after a three years ' course, or the student interested in advanced nurse ' s training may secure a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree after two years added study in the university. Work in the hospital gives the student practical training as well as text book knowl- edge. St. Catherine ' s was first established in a home donated by the late Mrs. Catherine Nash, and two additional wings were added to the initial building in 1915 and 1919, bringing the total capacity of the institution to 175 beds. It became affiliated with Creighton in 1929. The hospital belongs to the select group of hospitals standardized in accordance with the rates and regulations of the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical association. This rating is based on the efficient service of the hospital to the community in which it is located. New members of the faculty this year were Sara Shanley as full-time clinical instructor and Lillian Rezac as anesthetist. Each of the departments of the hospital is under the supervision of one of the Mercy nuns especially trained to handle the work of her de- partment. St. Catherine ' s Hospital 24
