MILWAUKEE CENTRAL SCHOOL OF NURSING The Central School of Nursing contributes greatly to the education of the nurses of Milwaukee. It gives a better theoretical course than was previously given in our schools of nursing. It stimulates a desire for further knowledge. It creates an apprecia- tion of the vast field of knowledge that they are in, and brings to the'ir realization what progress is yet to occur in the training of nurses. It also lends an academic atmosphere to the clinical education received in the hospital. It is unquestionably true that better and more qualities are acquired through education. Years ago it was sufficient for a nurse to depend upon her inherent qualities, and was judged accordingly. Today the poorest trained nurse is preferred to a i'born nurse, without any professional education. The qualities acquired through education include judgment, observation, and development of a certain keenness of mind. Social and public health attitudes are also stimulated through education. These qualities and attitudes added to the nurses' inherent qualities produces a nurse who is more desirable than a nurse without education. The.Central School of Nursing is an undeniable asset in raising the standard of the nursing profession. It raises the standard of professional nurses' theoretical education, because the courses are conducted so that all who do not come up to a set standard must drop the course. It enables a more diversified course than would be possible at the individual hospitals. Also, better students are attracted to the profession if good schools are assured. It is a realized fact that many nurses take up the profession because they desire to further their education, but cannot afford a college or university, and therefore take up nursing. The profession is fortunate in obtaining these people who wish to continue their education. Therefore, the standard must be made higher and higher to attract the good students and discourage those who cannot and will not make the grade. Having the students of five hospitals congregate and attend classes together at the school tends to promote an intellectual rivalry amongst the various groups, which results in improved study attitudes. This may be due to the fact that if each hospital conducted its own classes at the separate hospitals, probably there would be one or two exceptional students in each class. The average students would soon depend on the few for discussions and answers in class. Having all the hospitals together would mean that ten or twelve exceptional students would be together and therefore stimulate competition, and the desire to do better work. It is obvious that having a central school, it is much easier to secure better teachers. They have university preparation in addition to their hospital work, plus years of professional experience. The Milwaukee Central School of Nursing is one of a few of these progressive schools in this country, therefore we may consider ourselves fortunate to have had the privilege of attending this school. The formation of the central school is a progressive step in nursing education, but we still hope that the day is soon coming when the education of the nurses will be a part of the instruction offered by our uni- versities.
