Excerpt from Address on the Duties and Conduct of Nurses in Private Nursing: Delivered at the Boston Training School for Nurses, June 18, 1886A new field for women has thus been opened, and yet the supply Of graduates from well-organized training-schools still falls far short Of the demand. There were in Boston, May 13, 1886, one hundred and sixty-three trained nurses registered at the Registry in Boylston Place, and yet, on that day, wishing to Obtain the services of one Of these nurses, I found that there were but ten disengaged, and several of these had only just reported for duty. Nor was this experience an exceptional one. While the supply in our own city falls far short Of the demand, many of the cities Of this country have no supply at all, and applications are constantly being received even here for nurses to go and settle in this or that city Of the Union.The possession Of a diploma from any first-class training school is a guarantee that the graduate can earn, if she chooses so to do, an honest and honorable livelihood. When, as time goes on, the supply comes more nearly to equal the demand, the public and the profession will be able to exercise more choice in the matter and then the best nurses will come to the front. This school will soon find itself in more marked com petition with other schools. The aim Of the directors must therefore be to graduate the best possible nurses. With that end in View, changes in the course and methods Of instruction are constantly being introduced. Every endeavor is being made to give our students the best education that can be given. Among these changes is the introduction Of a closing lecture, to be given each year by some member of the Hospital Staff, on the duties and conduct Of nurses in private practice. It is to the consideration of this subject that I now invite your' attention.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
