TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES, Norfolk Street, Strand, W.C. IN consequence of applications, from time to time received, for the temporary admission of women to this Institution, for the purpose of such systematic instruction and training as would qualify them for the duty of nurses to the poor in sickness; it is now in contemplation to provide greater facilities than at present exist, for the special purpose of careful training and discipline in the various duties of nurses for the poor-both in cases of midwifery and general sickness. As a necessary preliminary to arrangements for carrying out such training, in King's College Hospital, it is desired to ascertain, as far as possible, both the extent of the existing want of such trained nurses, especially in country parishes, and the probable amount of co-operation to be obtained from the Parochial Clergy, Medical Men, and others, in furtherance of the proposed plan. Communications on this subject are, therefore, earnestly invited from those interested in the welfare of the poor-and especially from the Parochial Clergy and Medical Practitioners; together with such information as they can kindly give, particularly with reference to the following points : 1.-The need existing for such trained nurses in their respective neighbourhoods. 2. The population of their respective Parishes or Districts, and the number of women employed as recognised midwives. 3. The probability of being able to select and send from their own locality a woman capable of receiving such training, and willing afterwards to follow the vocation of nurse under the direction and supervision of the Clergy and Medical Practitioners, for the sole benefit of the sick poor of her own district, whose customs and habits she knows, and with whose wants she can best sympathize. Persons so sent for training would be instructed gratuitously; but a sum would have to be provided or guaranteed sufficient to cover the cost of board, lodging, and washing in the Institution, during such training, also the expense of the journey to and from the Institution. The time which such training would occupy cannot yet be exactly determined, probably a longer period would be necessary in some cases than in others; but this, with other points, would have careful consideration, and arrangements would be made, calculated as much as possible to facilitate a work believed to be of considerable social importance. Communications may be addressed to THE LADY SUPERINTENDENT OF ST. JOHN'S HOUSE, January, 1861. |
