Ill.-2.211111 If Ihlpologies to Kiplingj If you can please the supervisors and the doctors, The superintendent and the patients, too, The patients, families and your senior nurses, 7Twould seem that you'd have quite enough to do. lf you can please the Czarines of the pantry, The Napoleons who massage and bathe the hall, And yell at you for not walking on the ceilingg Or smile when you have lost your beau's phone call. lf you can please the internes and house-doctors, And hold your tongue when the buck they try to pass Or when chambermaids and elevator workers Think your day is lost without their sass. lf you can stay your tears when in the drug room, They ask for whom and why you want their wares, Send you back pronto for prescriptions, And make you climb what seems a million stairs. If you survive three months in the 'LOpr.', room, With utie my gown, and uhand me this or thatf, The wild excitement of the doctoras scolding, Still donjt give up and leave your training flat. If you donlt swear the night youjve got a Hheavyf' And are informed it's your turn to relieve. If you stick when unkind tongues run rampant, That weaker friends seem quite disposed to believe. If you can keep your head when lights around you Are flashing 'til you don7t know what to do. lf you can keep your heart when handsome internes Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If now that you have finished training, You can look back upon this life as mild, Yours is the earth, but I'm here to tell you, You'll not be a nurse-you,ll be a saint, my child! IEIII 'T f72l
