Loma Linda Postgraduate Course for Nurses

By Julia A. White

So many graduate nurses on the Coast have been writing to the Loma Linda Training School in the past few weeks for postgraduate work, that our faculty has decided to give such a course, beginning October 2 and closing June 26.
It is after we have finished a course of study and had experience in the real practical work that we discover our deficiencies, and know how to make use of educational advantages. This is certainly true of nurses, and they should endeavor to do more efficient work each year. Hence they must be constantly studying and seeking opportunities for advancement.
In speaking of their experience, many graduate nurses deplore their lack of training for Bible missionary evangelistic work. They find themselves crippled for any work outside of their profession, and soon become medical mercenary, instead of medical missionary, nurses. Many are not satisfied with this kind of experience; but few know how to remedy the matter.
The Lord has been making definite calls for medical missionary evangelists, and who are better fitted to answer this call than our graduate nurses? Realizing the great need of such workers, we have decided to offer a course of study that will fit these students for service.
This course may be elective from the medical and the third-year nurses' course, at the discretion of the faculty. Each student will carry three classes daily. Bible and pastoral training will constitute one complete line through the year. Advanced work in physiology, obstetrics, diseases of women, and children's diseases will complete the other two lines. It will be possible for these students to meet the greater part of their expenses by work in the institution. We shall be glad to hear at once from any who may be contemplating taking such a course.
JULIA A. WHITE, M. D.,
Superintendent of Nurses.
