Nurses For The Sick. Price With One A Le...
Nurses for the Sick . Price With One a Letter Penny to . Young Longman Women & Co . . By Louisa Twining .
This Is an excellent little pamphlet ; an earnest appeal by an _experienced workerwho knows what is wanted in nurses both for
, private families and public institutions ; the difficulties which stand in the way of this demand being supplied ; and the best means to
remove them . Ignorance of the existence and nature of the demand , of the facilities already afforded for the necessary training , and of
the opening thus offered to hundreds of young women now struggling for the means of existence in a few overtasked branches of
female employment , is to a great extent at the root of the evil . The wide dissemination of this pamphlet will go far towards removing
It ; and we cannot too strongly recommend it for gratuitous > distribution to those interested in promoting the welfare of young women .
We extract a few paragraphs , which give the scope and design of the whole . - .
