EDITORIAL.
The establishment of hospitals
for the purpose of giving training to
women who desire to become professional nurses is in keeping with
the advanced ideas of progress. Fifteen years ago in the management
of hospitals very little concern was
given to the selection of the corps
of nurses. Men and women with
no training and with no special fitness were chosen and employed to
care for the sick. Even in critical
cases of pneumonia and typhoid fever the patient was placed in the
care of a nurse who had no idea of the nature and progress of the diseases. The objections of persons going into hospitals and infirmaries for treatment were well founded. Very few persons, unless compelled through force of circumstances,
would venture the risk of going into
these institutions for treatment knowing that they would be placed
into the bands of ignorant and [incompetent] nurses. It is the trained
nurse that has made popular hospitals
throughout the country, and
persons feel as safe in these institutions now as they would in their
own homes surrounded and cared
for by the tender hands of relatives.
Physicians get better results from
the treatment of the sick in the hospital or in private practice when
they have to aid them competent
nurses who are able to carry out intelligently whatever directions may
be given them and who can detect
the changes in the progress of the
disease under treatment. The nurse then is an invaluable aid to the physician as has been demonstrated by
experience in tile successful treatment of his cases. Nothing too is so important in the successful management of a hospital as the proper
regard and observation of the
laws of hygiene. The cleanliness
