What Is A Student Nurse? Student Nurses come in all sizes, shapes, and caps. A Student Nurse is courage under a cap,a smile in snowy white, ambition in a starched uniform, and energy that is endless. To the head nurse she has the stability of musk, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, and is held together by starch, adhesive tape, and strained nerves. A Student Nurse is Faith with a hypo in her hand; Hope with a patched uniform; Love with her hair clipped short. She likes days off, boys her own age, the O.R. affiliation, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her room- mate, Mom and Dad, and yes, her nursing school. She's not much on days off with class. She dislikes alarm clocks, getting up for roll call, and pink ham twice a week. No one else looks forward so much to a day off, or so little to working 3 to 11. No one else gets so much pleasure from straightening a wrinkled sheet or wetting a pair of parched lips. No one else gets such satisfaction from fluffing a pillow, applying a bandage, or easing the pain of a patient. A Student Nurse is a wonderful creature. You can criticize her, but cannot dishearten her. You can hurt her feelings but you cannot make her quit. Might as well admit it whether you are a head nurse, doctor, chaplain or patient, she is a hardworking determined young woman, doing her best for her patient, her school, her hospital, and her God. She may not be glamorous, intriguing, or sophisticated, but she is young at heart, and a shinning example of the American Way. Libra Whenever she becomes discouraged or the lamp gets H ; too heavy, she should remember that there is a reward ome waiting for her. Because surely some of God's angels wear white caps instead of halos, and carry medicine trays instead of harps. And when hours are long; studies are hard; when fatigue and lonesomeness are on her threshold, she is reinspired by looking forward to the day when she can proudly say— I'm a Nurse!
