lVlARY S.-XCKSTEDER ommunifg AMAA During her training, each student nurse spends eight weeks in the Santa Rita Clinic which is a charitable organization owned and operated by the Catholic VVelfare Bureau in close association with our Queen of Angels Hospital. The clinic is now under the supervision of lyliss lVIoore and the staff of doctors include specialists in every field of medicine. The student spends two weeks in the clinic working behind the desk, taking his- tories on new patients and becoming familiar with how the clinic is organized and operated. After this the student works directly with the doctors and nurses. She carries out routine procedures and treatments, and in general, carries the responsibilities of an oflice nurse. A'Going on Public Health gives the student an opportunity to go into the homes. Here she learns to develop her judgment, exercise proper technique with make- shift equipment and above all to teach the public the importance of health and how to guard it. This is one of the most interesting as well as one of the most rapidly expanding branches in the field of nursing. Mfioing on lluhlic' Healllf' Forty-one
