f NVith the addition of a new guidance pro- gram at Union High School a new club was organized, lts members were the junior and senior girls who were interested in nursing as a career. Nliss George, the guidance counselor, is the advisor. and she meets with the girls once a month. At the meetings they discuss such topics as which hospital they will train in or which plan of obtaining their R.N.', is most feasible. Nliss George suggested that the girls choose a few hospitals they would like to visit. The club's first trip was to the VVashing- ton Hospital. Student nurses, acting as guides, took the girls through the hospital. The girls also toured the student nurses' dormitories. A few of the girls were so well impressed with the hospital and its maintenance that they made applications for admission to the hospital for next fall. Later in the year the club visited the Pres- byterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, a larger hos- pital than the NVashington Hospital. Some members of the club made inquiries about the hospitalis college program. With Miss Ceorgeis help the girls had a very nice year and leamed much to help them in their future nursing careers.
