THE SUMTEE TRAINING SCEOOL FOB NURSES. General Instructions;to Applicants For Admission to the School. The Sumter Training School for Nurses ia established to gire a practical and a theore? tical coarse of instruction to youn? ladies ds3trous of learning the art of caring for the sick. Persona! application should be made, if possible, to the superintendent, but if, owing to distance, this is impracticable, tbe appli cant should herself write to the Superinten? dent of the Training School-ana a blank will 03 forwarded to her. This toiaok, when fill? ed out and returned, accompanied by a clergyman's letter of recommendation and a certificate from a physician, that she is of sound health, constitutes a formal applica tica. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 35 and of at least average height and physique. They must give satisfactory evi? dence of having bad a good English educa? tion and of ability to undertake this course of st?dy, and while this is indispensable, appli? cants are reminded, that women of superior education and cultivation will be preferred, provided they meet the requirements in other particulars. Applicants for the fuil course (practical and theoretical) when approved bj the super? intendent, will be admitted for one month of probation in ooe of the hospitals when a vacancy exists They will, cpon their ac? ceptance as pupil nurses, be given board, lodging, washing and in casa of illness, medical attendance free They will receive SD per month during the first year and $10 per month during the second year. This sum is allowed for text books and expenses inci? dental to the schooi, and is in no way intend? ed as salary. The instruction given is con? sidered a full equivalent for services render? ed. Tie term of instruction is two years. Ex? aminations wilt be held at stated intervals Nurses entering at intermediate dates are ex? pected to take the examinations approximat- ! irg most nearly to the date of their accept- j ance. Except under special circumstances, failure to pass the examinations at the end ot the first year is considered sufficient cause for the termination of a pupil's connection with the school. A vacation cf two weeks each year will be allowed. Accepted candidates, when coming to the school, should be Drovided with the follow? ing articles : Two or three gingham dresses, plainly made ; six white linen aprons ; two bags for soiled clothing, marked with the foll name of the owner ; a good suppty of under? clothing, every article to be marked. Pupil Nurses, whee on duty, are required to wear the uniform prescribed by the Hos? pital authorities, which is plain gingham, with white apron, cap, linen collars and cuffs. Probationers are not allowed to wear creases of the same material. Those who pass the required examinations and have proved otherwise satisfactory dor ing the term of probation, are accepted as Pupil Nurses and are required to sign an agreement, to remain for the foll term of two years, to obey faithfully the rules and regula? tions of the School and Hospital, and to be subordinate to the authorities governing the same. THEORETICAL COURSE. The demand for ourses in the hospitals connected with the Training School being limited, the Board of Directors has arranged for a Theoretical Course for such ladies as nay desire to take up the study of nursing the sick. This course will cover one year and to those who succescfully pass the examinations in the several branches a certificate of attend? ance to the Theoretical Course only, will be given. The regulations governing this course are in ali respects identical with the full course ; except the practical training. Practical training to as large an -extent 83 i possible will be given, by allowing the nurses j to witness operations ia the hospitals COT- i aected with the Schooi, and to do district ! nursing when such offers. Arrangements have been perfected whereby j ?apf; Nurses (in the theoretical coarse), who ' come from a distance, can obtaio board at a j minimum ccst in private families in this city ! A tuition fee. regulated by th9 Board of Directors, will be charged to those who take the theoretical course only. For farther information all communica? tions should be addressed to the Superintend? ent of the Triimug School, Van Telburg Hcfj?an, M. D. , Prevented a Tragedy.
