SCHOOL OF NURSING f Oil January 1, 1946, there were 162 student nurses enrolled in the Stanford School of Nursing in San Francisco under Acting Director Sally Heitnian, right. The majority of girls have joined the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, filling vacancies left by graduate nurses who had joined the armed forces. Six senior Cadets are now serving with the Army, and one is in the Indian service. Others have been accepted for the California State Department of Health, the Visiting Nurse Association, and the Vet- erans ' Administration. As the wartime nursing short- age eases, Stanford graduates can look with pride at a splendid wartime record. Serving with the armed forces all over the world, the graduates of the Stan- ford School of Nursing helped to maintain the high- est standards of their profession.
