THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 The hospital without a school of nursing naturally depends solely upon graduate nursing service g the hospital maintaining a school of nursing does not rely so completely on the graduateg by eniploy- ing graduates in conjunction with the student nurse, the nursing service is inuch better stabilized. Wle are realizing niore and inore that a student nurse cannot be expected to carry the load of class work required in our nursing curricuhun today and continue to be responsible for the entire nursing service of the hospital. The field of general staff nursing is receiving greater eniphasis in the nursing world. lt is considered the foundation of the clirnb to higher institutional positions. There are nuinerable advantages which a general staff nurse has over other types of nursing. Among these are such as steady ernployinent with regular hoursg oppor- tunities for additional education and nursing experienceg brushing up on nursing proceduresg privilege of contacting patients in bed- side nursing. During the past few years we have been striving to build up a gen- eral staff service in our hospital. Due to various causes there has been sonie difficulty in supplying adequate nurses for this staff. However, we feel sure that we can depend on our nurses to help us nieet this situation. The hospital sincerely appreciates the service given by nurses in the past. s 8 as 'f asf .,... V ff'
