ABSTRACT
Schools for nurses, it must be understood, consider little that is sentimental and much that is practical in deciding upon the fitness of a woman for nursing. While some candidates may have more natural aptitude for the work than others, there are other attributes no less important, that are required. Training Schools aim to receive only women who are at least fairly intellectual, who are strong and enduring physically, and who morally will recognize the sacredness of the work that they are engaged in. As an evidence of the success of Training Schools for Nurses find them organized or being organized in all of the principal cities and towns, in connection with all kinds of hospitals. In particular, The Johns Hopkins Hospital School for Nurses that is just opening its doors to teach women the art of caring for the sick is unusually fortunate, for certainly never has a Training School for Nurses opened with brighter prospects.
