Our New Nurses' Residence

Abstract

ideas because they involved additional |p-^ HIexpense and work for the hospital, the Ij_I^M architect, and the contractor. However, even the suggestion to cut new ^^^f doors did not stop the chairman of the _^^^f Building and Equipment Committee _^^f and our administrator from trying to _^f give us the kind of building that we _ desired. ^y On one of our trips through the w half-completed building, we realized that we could obtain a centrally located health area if a door could be cut between two rooms. One room could then be used as an office, the other as a bedroom for students who were not ill enough to require hospitalization. We sold the idea and the door was cut. An instructor suggested that the library would be more useful if it were located on the first floor instead of the ground floor. So we made another tour of the building, decided that with a few changes in doors it could be done, and we soon had the library in its new setting. A classroom and faculty office were interchanged at the suggestion of the education director. More laboratory tables were added to the chemistry laboratory when they neetings were requested by the science inTrustee structor. Special cabinets, built acnmittee. cording to the instructor's specificaId more tions, were added to the nursing arts Nurses at this hospital helped to plan a beautiful and homey place to live and an up-to-date school of nursing.
