Our Hospital This is the house of an intangible spirit; one felt by us who serve here, and one felt by those who come to regain health. All who enter and leave its portals take something with them and leave something here. We take a memory of happiness and sadness, laughter and tears, and we leave a part of our hearts for we shall ever remember our training days here at our hospital.

Foreword WITH THESE HANDS Hands are as important to a nurse as a mind to store knowledge. Without hands to carry out the dictates of her knowledge, she would be nothing. Her hands are used to feed babies, take temperatures , pass instruments, change dress- ings, and the innumerable other things of a nurse ' s day. With these hands, our hands, we will proudly serve in the calling we have chosen.
