SCHOOL NURSE Page Four VIRGINIA GORDON, R. N. Juniata College School of Nursing The Johns Hopkins Hospital Following the broadening concepts of the services of the school to the com- munity our system this year added to its staff a full time nurse. This service is shared with the schools of Antrim Township and our own lower grades. The increasing tendancy to utilize local talent for our staff was again carried out in the selection of 2 school nurse. Miss Virginia Gordon, our new nurse, has lived within a stone's throvi of our school practically all of her life. She was graduated from this school in 1937. During the next two years she attended Juni- ata College preparatory to entering the John Hopkins Hospital Training School for Nurses. While at Johns Hopkins Hospital Miss Gordon was staff nurse and later head nurse of the Obstetrical Department. When war came, Miss Gordon heeded her country's call to duty and served for twenty-seven months in the Army Nurse Corps. At various times she was stationed at Fort George C. Meade, Maryland, the 164th General Hospital near Cherbourg, France, and the Percy Jones General Hospital, Battle Creek, Michigan. After re- turning to civilian life she did industrial nursing with the Fairchild Corp. for a time. She then returned to Juniata College to complete another year's work. Miss Gordon's duties as school nurse are varied and interesting. Chief among these is the carrying out of the physical examinations of the school children and the following up of these examinations. She also encourages general good health habits with particular emphasis on dental care by making individual inspections and giving class room talks. At various times she is called upon to screen out communicable diseases and to administer first aid. When some nearby communities suffered slight diptheria epidemics, Miss Gordon secured vaccine and administered the voluntary in- noculation of many school and pre-school children. Her many other duties included helping with tuberculosis examinations, and giving psychological and special hearing tests. With all these activities Miss Gordon seems never too busy to give a kind word or a helping hand to any and all who come to her. Surely we are to be congratu- lated for having made such a valuable addition to our staff.
