And now, with a clean, white, stare lied cap resting on our newly, permanented curls, Ave were called FRESHMEN . . . and with that we started eight hour dut) on the wards. Medi- cal, Surgical, Diet Kitchen and Semi-Private floors, here we come. The corn on the small toe of tm tight loot I owe all to Surgical, while the one on tn kit loot developed whilst traipsing the light fan- tasia on Medical, ably guided by Miss Ray- mond and her Head Nurses, the Misses Eshle- man and McKenna and Mis. Fisher. The lump in my throat dislodged itself after hav- ing witnessed my second paracentesis, and I no longer cringed with tear when I heard a doctor ' s voice say he was going to do a lumbar puncture. Ah!! What a wonderful teacher experience is. She should get a raise. After spending the required amount of time on Medical, 1 soon left the fair department and traveled southward to the fifth floor, FRESHMEN Surgical, where I was welcomed by Mrs. Mar- tin, the Supervisor, and her staff of Head Nurses. Mrs. Sloss, Mrs. Schaeler and Miss McGinley . . . Thoracoplasty . . . Lobectomy . . . Cholecystectomy . . . Herniorrhaphy . . . Gastric Resection . . . everything is found on Surgical. With orientation to the floor and instructions on the pre and post-operative care of patients, I soon found myself feeling as though I knew what I was doing. In due time, I was sent to the Diet Kitchens to work (and gain weight). Flic Misses Pur- tell, Rogers and Joslyn were very patient with all of us and some of the girls even got an opportunity to show what good cooks they really were. Though, personally, it ' s all I can do to boil water without burning it. Upon completion of m Diet Kitchen ex- periences, with band-aids on my fingers to protect the cuts and burns, I staggered to a new department . . . Semi-Private floors . . . Ihe eighth floor being capably run by the Misses Miller and Russell, and the ninth floor stalled by Miss Simpson and her Head Nurses Miss Kegel i e and Miss Rosenquist.

Naturally, we met the interns during out course of travels. Many a time we struggled by their side over a venochsis or a cutdown or a redressing carrier.
