Mission Hospital Opening for Nurses

By L. A. H.

Since the Washington Sanitarium Dispensary has moved to its new location, it has been named the Washington Sanitarium Mission Hospital. As the change of name indicates, the work of the institution has been enlarged. The usual dispensary work will be done, together with neighborhood visiting. In addition, regular hospital work will be done for people of small means.

The outside work of the institution includes considerable obstetrical practice. Our nurses thus far have found this a good field of experience. The nurses have been well received. Their work and that of the institution are growing in favor, and the zone of service is enlarging.

The experience given the nurses is a varied one, including usual dispensary work and visiting work in territory that offers unusual advantages to the missionary nurse. The location is ideal for an all-round experience. Those who have had the privilege of spending some time at this work have expressed their appreciation of the opportunities offered.

Nurses whose training has not included practical experience in field medical missionary work, those who desire special experience in obstetrics, or midwifery, and those who wish a preparatory experience for a mission field, will be interested in the advantages offered by this institution.

Just now there are openings for a few nurses to enter the Mission Hospital. Arrangements for admission should be made by correspondence. Address Dr. H. W. Miller, Washington Sanitarium, Takoma Park, D. C.
