PEDIATRICS Children. We love them, though some- times we wonder after so main for so long on Pediatrics. But despite frequent tears and cries for mother, these kiddies seem to enjoy their stay on seventh floor. The nurses do, too . . . ask Miss M. Elwell. GYNOCOLOGY Under the guiding hands of Mrs. C. Le- man and Miss M. Parker we soon came to know the gyn procedures backwards and forwards. After spending several weeks on this department one learns the finale of this woman ' s world! MEDICAL At this favorite abode of the oxygen tent and mask we find Mrs. R. Bunt and Misses J. Eshleman, M. Hoover, and Mrs. B. Jenkins heading a smoothly run medical department. Those of us with a love for medicine find this a busy but all engross- ing place. SURGICAL Did someone say emergency ? If that ' s the case we have the Misses V. Lowe, J. Dodson, E. Mirto, F. Gray, and E. McGin- ley to direct the student action that will see the patient safeb into the operating room before he realizes he ' s in the hospital.

PRIVATE FLOORS— 14. 15. AND 16 As you alight at any of these — our private floors — you are instantly aware of quietness, subdued lighting and an easy efficient manner with which all cases are handled under the guidance of the Misses T. Marcelonis. G. Connors, and E. Jones. SEMI-PRIVATE— 8th BROAD and 9th Some say these are the busiest halls in the hospital, which may well be true. For here it is that we find all types of cases. Surgery and medicine combine to keep Miss F. Simpson and Mrs. H. Pigozzi con- stantly on the alert. ORTHOPEDICS The home of the Bradford frame and Buck ' s extension to say nothing of the wheelchair, crutch, and cast. It is on this department that we find Miss K. Teller ever anxious to introduce some new ortho- pedic term into our nursing vocabulary . CENTRAL SUPPLY ROOM In an emergency this is where we come for trays, solutions, needles, syringes, and no end of other sterile articles. On Mrs. C. Cleaver, who ever checks and rechecks to keep these things sterile and complete, our entire hospital depends.

OBSTETRICS Where life begins there ' s bound to be excitement and Hahnemann ' s OBS depart- ment is no exception. Here the main ques- tion is when? The Misses H. Deakyne, M. Davies, and H. Weisensale teach us the principles behind the correct answer. The rest is up to you . . . and nature. OPERATING ROOM In spite of that empty feeling that first morning we cross the 0. R. threshold many claim this, their first love at Hahne- mann. Scrubbing takes on a new meaning under the watchful eyes of the Misses B. Hervey, P. Young, and M. Hicks. OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENTS Much experience comes to us ( especially the Jersey ites! under Mrs. K. Bringhurst who rules Admission Room. When work- ing in the out-patient clinics we receive enlightening and valuable information from Miss S. Fine. NIGHT SUPERVISORS The dark but not always quiet nights of our institution are always under control when ruled by the 7-7 staff lead by Misses C. Reynolds. E. Pilne) . and A. SeKellick.
