SUCCESSFUL NURSES.

PRESENTATIONS AT HOSPITAL. 1 “AN EXCELLENT RESULT." 1 j e . “As usual, the results have been r excellent,” said Mr J. J. Ryburn. a ; chairman of the Waikato Hospital e Board, when making presentations to 3 the successful candidates in the nurs- } ing examinations at the Waikato Hospital yesterday afternoon. Tha - I Waikato Hospital had a good reputa- } | lion, continued Mr Ryburn. and this • ! had been worthily upheld. Out of the ’ ! twelve nurses who had sat for fro general examination ten bad passed, one with honours. This was a splendid performance when it was realised i that the total of 200 candidates came j from all parts of the Dominion and I only four of these received honours, i !An ' even better record had been pre- | served in the maternity examinations, ; where every candidate was successful. Great credit, considered the chair- | man, was due to the tutor sisters, doctors and lady superintendent. Miss j D. Menzies. J Mr Hyburn also presented the S special medal from the board to Nurse j M. M. Harrisson. whom he congratu- ; lated on her very fine performance, jHe added that Nurse P. Goodwin, | runner-up for the medal, had also proved herself very capable. I There was no question that the ! nurse was doing a wonderful job, sai l ' j Mr F. Findlay, a member of the board, ! who coupled his congratulations with those of the chairman. The Waikato Hospital had a splendid name, and on this account there were many nurses ' In other towns who were anxious to 1 Join its staff. “During the past few weeks the * 1 nurses have been very busy, but they 5 i have all pulled their weight,” stated • i Miss Menzies. “I would like particu--1 ! larly to congratulate Nurse Harrisson, 5 and also Nurse Goodwin, who was a • very close second to Nurse Harrisson. 1 I hope those coming on will work as ’ j hard as tlie successful candidates.”
