All those cards telling us not to come to the nurses' home until the next week. Finally, the day came to report. Oh, for September 29th!! From September 29th 'til November 15th, our Uprobien period-a period with long sieges of anatomy, endless nursing arts classes, especially on Saturday mornings. Remember??? That clock got its share of attention when week-ends began. Remember physiology lab-those legends of History of Nursing, our sociology round table discussions Cthose were rarel. Nutrition classes with the hopeless barter- ing of cream of spinach soup for prune whip. Remember those sessions of pathology- microbiology-medical and surgical nursing? Our probie days were brightly colored by Mrs Mac, who taught us life and how to think for ourselves. Remember her music appreciation programs and how we all learned more about the great composers? She did much to broaden our life and add to our happiness here. November 18th, a new piece of furniture appeared in all the nurses' rooms- those beloved radios. How they were used! Besides those extra curricular activities and parties in the assembly, our night life usually ended and we were safely in each night at nine P. M. Remember Mrs, Sharp would have to climb all those stairs to tell us It's ten forty-five and lights should be out! Remember? She way always so sweet to us and never tired telling us the right things to do. She gave us a good start to be professional women and we will never forget 'four Ma Sharp. Animals on our beds were-we thought, cute, but they often took trips to the closet and finally ended on the way home with us. Best of all the activities at night were the bull sessions and how good we felt when they were all over. Remember the refreshments, too-either from home or from that unforgettable place, 'fthe cQncession ?? November-our first days on the wards-eager because we were probies with high ideals, willing hands and black ties. Remember the thrill we got when someone called us N URSESV, By Friday one could find soup, mustard and a little of each meal on the front flap of that black tie. Remember? February 3rd-The great moment has arrived, we have our caps-farewell to ye ole black tie-thirty-seven of us with the new starched aprons and caps-a few of the class had been lured by matrimony. Remember, the assembly hall with candle- light warming the roomg and how each of us felt as we said the FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE! Hope, ideals and courage were high that night. Our ward trainings-Burns, surgery, infections, fractures, hemorrhagesg we got them all and loved it. People-old, young, happy, sad-they were a lot of fun. We Were proud to be able to help them. Remember those ubiquitious bed pans, T.P.R.'s, and the constant struggle to get the Ward cleaned up before our ten o'clock classes!! Obstetrics-a complicated system of producing life-litters, cribs, Rf P, and a prayer with bated breath that the elevator to the delivery room would get there in '49 THE REF-LECTOR-1944 time. Remember the awe and humbleness we felt when we first heard the crv of a small new born-remember. how happy the mothers were-but the fathers!-they could really pace the Hoor and worry. Diet Kitchen: The diabetics and their diets, remember? Between cooking, carrying trays, returns, and night feedings, we really had fun-remember those 'icoldsf' hots and specials :salt free. fat free, etcj And those junliets-Oh, to have captured the elusive power of junlqing!! Pediatrics: Noisy but nice! Colored by feedings, dryings, helping the children to learn new things in their new surroundings: what fun we had! Remember the ward with the sun filtering through the windows and the babies clean and well fed. These were all rare moments. Remember the brass plaque with the single inscrip- tion- This ward was founded by the childrens friend. idle loved this all. Dispensary: .-Xccidents, emergencies, fractures-people from all walks of life. They came every day. Remember surgical clinic and how we bandaged? YVe will never forget the Sunday cleaning routine!! Observation ward was another duty of ours when in this department. X-rays, blood pressures, making beds, admitting patients, discharging and transfering patients--XVe enjoyed every minute of it. Operating Room: The long white halls, litters, technics, rigid aseptic routines, efficiency, clockwork-coupled with the fear of contamination. This was surgery. VVatch. thats sterile, don't touch it! Uh. what a familiar expression! Remember the thrill we got when we saw sltilleld fingers at work and life pulsing warm and vital under their fingers. Remember how people were made healthy and clean again? Scalpels, hemostats. forcepsfremember those gleaming instruments and how we oiled them on week-ends? As we stood scrubbed and masked, ready to help the surgeon, we were thrilled and glad we had the privilege of serving. july-twenty-four of our class joined the United States Cadet Nurse Corps. The Army and Navy made ready for the senior students. And remember the day we were measured for the Cadet uniforms. Then the big day came for some of the girls-some of the seniors were called to Carlisle for their physical exam for the Army. Then waiting for the answer. September 2nd. Cur whole class joined the Red Cross Student Reserve. VVe were given our pins on the stage of the State Theater, after which we saw the motion picture, So Proudly VVe Hail. Remember that long march up Front Street, all of the nurses clean and starched ready to accept their new pledge. In September, our senior year really started, at last we were able to see our goal nearer in view. Senior duties on the wards. Remember how we relieved on the floors and did a rather good job of being in charge??? February 7th-Classes over, everyone had passed and accounted for'-What a wonderful feeling we had!!! No more worries about studies until State Boards come nearer. At last we are fulfilling our dearest wish-graduation. As we look out over the Forum and see proud faces eagerly watching us, we feel humble but proud to SO 1944-THE REFLECTOR be a nurse. forget, and a and join the Unto Others A11 that experience and fun behind, friendships we will never future so full of things we will be even prouder to be a graduate nurse ranks to help wherever needed.

'51 THE REFLECTOR-1944 A PROUD PRQFESSION In july. 1943, one hundred and one students signed their contracts with the United States Government making them of-licial members of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, of which twenty- four were seniors. The United States Cadet Nurse Corps was created by an act of Congress, passed unanimously in June, 1943, to provide for the training of nurses for the armed forces, government and civilian hospitals, health agencies, and war in- dustries. To furnish to students-without charge for tuition fee or other expenses, courses of study and training, uniforms, insignia, and maintenance in accordance with the regulation of the Surgeon General. All cadet nurses are assured that even though the war ends, before their educa- tion is completed, they may go on to graduation, provided they have been en- rolled ninety days prior to the end of hostilities. Then when a student enrolls as a member of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, she is signing up for a complete course in a profession at which she can work for a lifetime if she wishes. With her heightened perception of humanity, her professional and scientihc training, the nurse is a priceless community asset, whether as a wife and mother or as a practicing nurse. In a very deep sense her rewards are spiritual as well as material. The Cadet course is divided into three periods which covers three years of training in a hospital as a student cadet nurse. The first period, Pre-Clinical, covers a six month period of fundamental work. The second period, twenty-four months, is the Junior period which is the longest, covering all the basic training and ward nursing besides the special branches of nursing as Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Operating Room, Dispensary, Dietetics and care of private patients. After the cadet nurse has Finished this she enters the hnal period, Senior period, in which she has the oppor- tunity to spend her last six months developing her skills and likes. If it can be so arranged, the cadet nurse will have the good fortune of alhliating to another hospital for more special training in the branch of nursing in which she is most interested. The Army has set up a course that the student can serve in a military hospital under supervision until time for her graduation. 52. 1944-TI-IE REFLECTOR Of course all of this is just in the pioneer stage and this is why we are so proud to be a part of such a wonderful organization which has such a promising future for other girls who wish to become nurses in this time of war. Unlimited opportunities are in the future for the Cadet Corps and those who join during the war period and the peace which will follow. After the war the demands for graduate nurses will continue to grow. There never have been enough nurses to meet the demands. This is especially true in the field of veterans' care, public health, and industrial care. A marked expansion of these services is anticipated following the war. As a graduate nurse, ours will be a strong position in the years to come. Already some countries are looking to the United States for help in coping with the many serious conditions that follow war's devastation. Nursing will play a tre- mendous role in the rehabilitation of the world of tomorrow. Then, as graduate nurses, we will be proud to have done our duty to make a better world of peace and have the great opportunity to help in maintaining this world of happiness, freedom and better health for all. DoN'T QUIT When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, VVhen the road your trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, VVhen life is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must-but don't quit! Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about VVhen he might have won, had he stuck it outg Don't give up though the paces seem slow- You might succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than- lt seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when youlre hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit! -UNKNOWN. 7 '53 , A 1 THE REFLECTOR-1944 Sunning in tliu iiurwivmxurst-5 .ir pl.ny- Xursc5F . . .

Blackouts when you're on 2:30 duty CMaternity???D. lVla's surprise visits at 11 P. M. Baths in the 113 Home. Our first rounds with a doctor. First aid class, artificial respiration, slacks and all. Day duty nurses coming off at 9 P. M. Dates with Oscar, the skeleton. The black ties with soup and mustard as trimmings. Remember a certain senior's definition of LOVE. Remember the effervescences of F plus soap flakes. The undies ironed by ...... C Gremlins 1 guess?D. A certain senior excused from class because of the Hinkles. That familiar smell of RUBBER burning. Student health duty on icy days. Any time that Ozzie had ONE thing you could borrow. When we went Beddie-byeu at 10:45 P. MRP? The Hrst day of 8-hour duty. That change from black to white. . A NURSE'S PRAYER The world grows brighter year by year, because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron, and smiles, and sings, and keeps on doing the same old things. Taking the temperature, giving the pills to remedy mankind's numerous ills, Feeding the babies, answering the bells, being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home, and all the While wearing the same old professional smile. Blessing the newborn baby's first breath, closing the eyes that are stilled in death, Taking the blame for all mistakes, O, dear! VVhat a lot of patience it takes, Going off duty at seven o'clock, Tired discouraged and ready to drop, But called out to help at seven-Fifteen, with woe in the heart that must not be seen, Morning and evening, noon and night, just doing it over, hoping it's right. When we report off to cross the bar, Dear Lord, will You give us one little star To wear on our cap of our uniform new in the Ward above where the head nurse is You? - 61 THE REFLECTOR-1944 f'S L 2 N A A ' 1 4:1 X vigil... ,n, M ,f .-'S' YQ W 1 ,k 'W CQCCQIQX 43 V-,MI - ,xg Jimffgfy cm J il .1 'r S 9 w vb lk 'W '?
