The Washington Sanitarium Nurses’ Training Class

THE Washington Sanitarium announces the beginning of another class for nurses, and makes a call for applicants. A new calendar has been issued, presenting an outline of studies, together with terms of admittance, requirements, and general conditions. Those in charge of the work aim for the highest standard possible in the training of nurses. Particular attention is given to thoroughness in branches covering the essentials of a real medical missionary course.

The Washington Sanitarium is prepared to give a nurses’ course in harmony with the outline accepted at the last General Conference. It has the facilities for doing this, both in its faculty and in its equipment. Its patronage is such as to give a varied experience to its nurses. Considerable surgery is being done, together with all other lines of general sanitarium work.

It should be understood by all applicants that this is distinctly a course intended for persons who wish to qualify as missionary nurses. This means all the more emphasis on professional requirements of technique and skill, as well as greater attention to spiritual fitness. A requisite of paramount importance on the part of students is a missionary purpose in taking up this work. Only those are wanted who can give reasonable evidence of a Christian experience. Persons entering the course must be prepared to lend strength to the work of the institution. Such individuals as can enter under these conditions will find this a most excellent opportunity for further preparation as workers.

At present there is an opening for a few young men, and possibly one or two young women. Write at once, as the class begins soon. Address Superintendent of Nurses, Washington Sanitarium, Takoma Park, D. C.
