KARITANE NURSES
Sir,-l1 was interested to see in J he
Listener that the conditions of Karitane training have been brought to the notice of the public. I had always wanted to be a Karitane nurse, and was bitterly disappointed when my parents were unable to pay for the training. I left school when fairly young, and worked until I had saved enough money, but throughout my training the difficulty in making both ends meet was always an embarrassing problem. I found the training interesting, however, and most essential to the community, and few people realise what excellent work is being done in the Karitane hospitals, especially in the teaching of mothers and the saving of premature babies. Surely this work deserves more recognition, and should be open to any suitable girl, irrespective of means who wishes to become a Karitane nurse. This particular branch of nursing is considered an essential employment, and at the present, when the cost of living is so high, why are the trainees not paid even a small wage, and so made equal with
those of other professions.-
