an almost audible tick-tock. One can see the mysterious forces of life and death at work from a very different angle than that afforded by the light of day. The responsibilities are quite as heavy, though for the most part, even the sick compose themselves to slumber, most of the night. The business of getting the patients up and ready for breakfast is quite equal to the task of putting them to bed. There is very little difference between a patient in a hospital bed and in his own little bed at home. The more unwilling he or she is to go to sleep the more unwilling they are to wake at the routine waking hour. Most nurses and doctors are in sympathy with night workers, having traveled the rocky road themselves. For one thing night duty teaches tolerance. One can- not get right next to stark reality, as one does on night duty, without learning to have sympathy and understanding with human nature. I have heard of that rara avis, the person who really likes night duty, but I have not met such a specimen. I suppose like individuals who are born with a liking for pate de foie gras, caviar and olives, the percentage is rather low. Considering the struggle it is to sleep while the world is awake, and to be awake while the world sleeps, one would think those who eventually achieve success, would, in their retrospective moments, consider the erection of a MODEST monu- ment to the Night Workerst' of the world. As yet, of all the heroes, these are without public recognition. Let us hope that before these clever professors do discover that sleep is only a luxury, some one will wake up and take the proper steps to have these ob- scure heroines and heroes, the night-workers, recognized, and elevated to their rightful place in the Moon!', J lrl111I!lIllf'lll L ,ff , l k ' ' ' 1' -T' f ff 51. f f ,llqlil-' K 71 W An auto-alarm-get-up-and-dress device sug- gested by one ol' the seniors, which is guaran- teed to have you on your feet and half dressed before you have completed yawning.

The Health Program of the Student Nurse HE nurse of today, in any phase of nursing, must be a true missioner of . health. She must not only have health in order to do her work, but she must also teach health by precept and by radiating health herself. Such health requisites for nurses necessitate a carefully planned, consistent program for each student nurse, in terms of her own health, her assignments to duties, her studies, and her recreations. The health program of our students begins even before they start their study of nursing, for they must present a health certificate from their family physician as part of the requirement for admission to the school. Our Medical Director, Dr. Isabella Clinton, has entire charge of the students' health. She also makes all arrangements for students to consult specialists, when in her judgment such services are indicated. She gives each preliminary student a thorough physical examination. Each student is given the Schick test. If the reaction is positive, immunization against diptheria is established by the adminis- tration of toxin-anti-toxin. Each student is also vaccinated and must have either a successful vaccination or two immunity reactions within a reasonable time. Instruction in personal hygiene is given in such a manner that each student is responsible for her own health as a part requirement of her formal class work. Personal hygiene is developed as the first series in a sequence of courses which continue throughout the student's entire period in the school. This sequence of courses being personal hygiene, elementary bacteriology, household sanitation, advanced bacteriology, public sanitation and communicable diseases. Just before each student is capped she has a physical examination. Her acceptance into the school is based in part upon her physical condition. If she is accepted, she receives prophylactic doses of typhoid vaccine. A physical examination is given at the end of the first year, also before and after the Special Services fsurgery, obstetrics and communicable dis- easesj which make heavy demands upon each student. In general, our health program has as its aim: The best possible daily health for each student. The education of groups of nurses who know l the facts involved in the health of individuals and of groups, and who will make those facts function as means for raising health standards in any home or community where our graduates render nursing service.
