he eacon --.-- - - - ----------- -------------------------- ------- -+11 Public Health Nursing Illllllllillillillll Did you say my name was on the Change Slip, and I go to Public Health ?',' My Goodness! YVhere ean I borrow some uniforms? lVho has a back tie? May 1 borrow your sweater? I'll have to stay up until midnight arid darn socks. I havcn't a decent hat. But the most dreaded thing is-I just know I'll get lostlu The next morning' at 8 o'eloek, you join the happy-go-ucky twelve, and before long you find yourself looking very dignified, sitting at along polished table in the City Hall, telling the Staff Nurse your past history. This is easy, you think, but what if I have to go to Jeffreys! I don't even know what street ear to take, not mentioning' where to get off. This is soon remedied by the careful instructions of the Staff Nurse, and you are soon on the way, siek at heart, and wishing it was over. After you reach Jeffreys, however, you thoroughly enjoy yourself, and from then on your worries, so far as excursions are concerned, are over. The visits to XVest Main Street Clinic, the lveighing Stations, the Kiwanis Club, are very inter- esting. A After a week of excursions you are put in the care of the Staff Xurse of your District. She plans your work, and takes you through your District for the first time. Everything is Wonderful that day, with someone with you, but the next morning you start out alone, armed and shielded by a much worn Simplex Guide of the City of Columbus. By the aid of this Guide, and the good- natured street ear conductors, you are able to find your various destinations. After six weeks of General Public Health Nursing we are promoted to the Contagious Public Health Nursing. Under Miss Olson's careful supervision we learn all about f'Koplik's Spots and the strawberry tongue. VVe are now able to distinguish between measles, scarlet fever, and chickenpox. Miss Olson takes wonderful eare of us, and the first rainy day she peers under the table to see that we are wearing our graloslles. Here also, armed with our much used and torn Simplex, and strips and strips of street ear tickets, we start out and scour the city from North to South-from East to lvest-for all kinds of bugs How sorry we are when our District Days are over and we must say good-bye to them, and to the kind District Nurses. As we deposit our bags under the table we wish that our District Days were just beginning instead of ending. N inet y-seven
