LITTLE TIME-SAVERS FOR NURSES A nurse can save four minutes and one second every morning by having a boyish; one and a half minutes by squeezing out her tooth-paste the night before, two minutes and thirteen seconds by brushing her teeth on way to bath-room, three minutes by wearing pumps instead of oxfords, three minutes by wearing simple one-piece dresses, ten seconds by pinning on her collar on the way down-stairs, three minutes and six seconds adjusting her cap on her way over, seven minutes by making up her face while eatin rolls and jelly, forty-flve seconds by brushing crumbs off on way to her individual oor. All of which gives her twenty-four minutes and seventeen seconds which she can spend throughout the day, cheering and comforting her patients. Dr. O'Malley- A coarse suture please. D. Clark- Yes, Doctor. Dr. O'Malley- That's fine. D. Clarkei'lim sorry, but that's the coarsest I have. Weinholde'iThis is the operating-room department. We're ready for Dr. Lillie's hernia. Sr. Lillieeiil didn't know he had one. HausZeiiAt a movie. Usher-HWhere do you want to sit? Up front, haIf-way, or back? HausZeiiI prefer 'sitting down'-please. YES? NO? Love is such a funny thing It's something like a lizard, It winds itself around your heart And nibbles at your gizzard. Dr. Mason- Is this baby turning blue also? Kuhlow tabsentleriiOh, no, I guess it only looks that way. TeRonde irushing into the nurseryI- Is this my Buddy you're holding? The Other Sludenl-e 0h, no, this is Nobody. I gleaned a gleaning the other day In just what class I cannot say I failed to write it down with speed, So now you can't that gleaming read.

SHHH! A noise in the hall A whisper, a shoute Sh! Sr. Emma is coming Turn all your lights out. A shuffle, a scuffle Food under the bed Hop under the covers-and pretend that you've read all your lessons. Bang! Bang! on the door Are you here in your place? Goodness! ! Open that window so the germs The fresh air can chase. Meekly-l'Yes, Sr. Emma - Then a si h and a groan When the matron hind her says in a tone-- Quite convincing l smell peanut-butter-some toast and cake, tw I move we look farther: Just to prove my nose true. A search is made quickly . And remains brought to view- Of Chicken and duck bones and Pickles a few Report in my office- Tomorrow at two! The nightls meditations then made Me feel blue. M .

Sr. Emma lSenior Ethics Classle The old-fashioned nurse had great contempt for all antiseptics. She believed a good scrubbing with soap-suds was good enough for anyone. What do you say about that? Stromer Gmpulsivelyl-l'Sure, the way she scrubbed. Call a doctor in the night time If your pulse is acting queer, For with him it's just the right time To remove your leg or ear. Reinke 10 Sr. AgneSeuShall I send for that appendix now? Reply- Yes, and get the patient too. 79 ivl'lli U 1 l. .34.. i'llia'lllllll
