what is a Student Nurse? Student nurses are found everywhere, on top of, underneath, running around, jumping over, or slithering past patients ' beds. Doctors overlook them, mothers worry about them and patients love them. A student nurse is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in starched skirts, energy that is endless, the best of young womanhood, a modern Florence Nightingale. Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe or steps on a doctor ' s foot. A student nurse is a composite. She eats like a team of hungry interns, works like the whole nursing staff put together. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the endurance of a flagpole sitter. To the head nurse, she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule and is held together by starch, adhesive tape, and strained nerves. To an alumna, she will never work as hard, carry more trays, make more beds, or scrub on more cases than her predecessors. A student nurse likes days off, boys her own age, the OR, affiliations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate, and mom and dad. She ' s not much on working 3-11, days off with class, alarm clocks, getting up for roll call, or eating corn beef every Tuesday. A student nurse is a wonderful creature; you can criticize her, but you can ' t make her quit. Might as well admit it, whether you are a head nurse, doctor, alumna, or patient, she is your personal representative of a hospital, your living symbol of faith and sympathetic care. She is judged not by her race, religion, or social standards; she is measured by a professional yardstick that measures her ability to make a bed, apply bandages, or sacrifice her time to ease the pain of a patient, simply for the satisfac- tion of a job well-done. She is a hard-working, determined young girl doing her best for her school and hospital. When- ever she becomes discouraged, or the lamp gets too heavy, she should remember that there is a reward waiting for her, because surely some of God ' s angels wear white caps instead of halos and carry medicine trays instead of harps. — Laurel Leaf — 16
