Nurses, and always shewn in a high degree that she
has had the care of the patients, and the interests of
the hospital, greatly at heart. The Medical Officer of
such an institution can have very little peace with
regard to his patients, unless he can feel thorough
confidence in his Nurses. To be able to get such a
feeling of confidence takes time. To all I desire to
express my thanks, but, naturally, feel especially
interested in those whose progress and improvement I
have watched during 12 months and more, as Probationers,
and who, one can see with great pleasure, are
becoming well-informed and efficient Nurses. Nurses
Duncombe, Cooper and Littleboy, having passed
through their two years as Probationers, have remained
as Nurses, and given great satisfaction.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. S. SKINNER.
