A DAY IN A NURSES LIFE l-l, Tl-IE DAY of a nursel She comes on brightC'?D and early CD to face her patients with a hopeful look, and gets in return a glare at being so rudely awakened. The patient manages to reach a swallow of ice water, just at the time the nurse takes his tempera- ture. Undaunted, she continues her duties-baths, back rubs, beds, beds, beds-and finally has time to chart her morning tasks, just as the doctors are making rounds and are in possession of those fought-over documents. Then . . . the day really begins. People roll in on stretchers, in wheelchairs and even are forcibly carried in. Usually they come in groups of three or four. The nurse's job is to make sure these new patients feel at home and are comfortable, if possible. The afternoon wears on into evening and again it is back rubs and beds, beds, beds. A few dozen medications, a report to the relief nurse-and oh, my goodnessl ls it 7:00 p.m. already?
