6 lfffffor a Nurse iWith apologies to Kiplingj If you can leave your home and go in training When all therein are so opposed to it, If you can stand the years of work and study, And always have a love for doing it, If you can take the blame so often given, Though in despair, your spirit never sunk, And never went off duty in a hurry, And in a temper never packed your trunk, If you can have night duty forced upon you, More times than any pupil ever had, If you can get up early for the lectures, And be wide awake and say it isn't baduz If you can lose those precious late passes For coming in at night ten minutes late, If you go about your duties calmly, Vlith not a Word or thought of hateg If when your time for training in Surgery Arrives, and you feel somewhat like a Dunce, If you remember all the rules and technique, And never are corrected more than onceg If when the head of that department Takes you to task, for work youive left undone J If you can take it all without an answer, And profit by that talk and every oneg If you can serve a tray of any diet XVith equal skill that you can make a bedg If you can rush from clinic to the nursery And in an emergency never lose your head: If at all times you can remember The pledge you took in training, without fear To lead the life of Florence Nightingaleg Then you'll be a NURSE, my dear. f 1 1 The Probie's Wish I wish I was a Senior A'wearing a blue band, A'doing nothing all day long But just ailooking grand. I wouldn't scrub, I wouldn't scour, I Wouldn't even study. Pd just sit still and visit lots With an lnterne, or anybody. Page 57
