FIFTEEN YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WANTED.
By Francis M. Wilcox
The training class for nurses will begin in the Colorado Sanitarium at Boulder, Colo., Aug. 1, 1900. Fifteen young men and women are wanted to take up this work. The nurses' training school in the Colorado Sanitarium has now been in successful operation for five years. This will be the fifth class received into the school. The course includes a study of two years. First year's work: domestic economy, Bible, hydrotherapy, massage, physiology, gymnastics, general nursing, application of electricity. Second year's work: Bible, surgical nursing, special massage, manual Swedish, diseases and their treatment. For the first year the nurse is required to give sixty-three hours' work each week, receiving therefor board, room, books, uniform, and instruction. The second year the same amount of time is required from the nurse. In return the institution provides room, board, instruction, and a remuneration of ten dollars a month, and upward according to the value of the nurse's services. The second year the nurse furnishes his own books and uniform. Those who apply for admission to this school must conform to the following requirements:— - Be devoted to the work of God, and have an earnest desire and purpose to succeed.
- Must have good health. None should apply with the hope of making this a means of coming to Colorado for their health. Only those who have rugged health should enter upon the nurses' course.
- It has been found that those succeed best as nurses who enter the course between the ages of twenty and thirty-five. This age-limit will be observed.
- All must be members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in good and regular standing, and must accompany their application with letters of recommendation from the church elder, or from some accredited Seventh-day Adventist minister.
- All will be required to make a deposit of twenty-five dollars, as a fund to be drawn from in emergencies, or for meeting necessary personal expenses.
Let none come to take this course without corresponding with us, and making arrangements. Each one will be required to undergo a satisfactory physical examination, and will be received one month on trial. Let it be observed that this class opens Aug. 1, 1900; hence any who may desire to enter upon the work should make their application at once. Time will be saved if the items mentioned in this notice are given in the letter, and information furnished regarding the same. Address all correspondence relative to this to the undersigned, care of the Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, Colo. Francis M. Wilcox.
