TRAINING NURSES
Course For Degree (N.Z. Press Association) HAMILTON, April 10. There was a demand now for a practical and . academic nursing degree course at universities, Miss J. Taylor, matron-in-chlef to the Auckland Hospital Board, said yesterday. The degree, she said, should carry units in broadly based liberal studies. Miss Taylor was a member of a panel discussing university training for nurses during the New Zealand Registered Nurses’ Association conference. A university degree course of four years, affiliating university and perhaps several hospitals and maintaining supernumeraries to train the students in practical work would provide more challenge to the intelligent girl than the nursing profession was offering now, she said. The profession was short in leaders and teaching staffs: with a modest intake of girls to the degree course at first, the future lack could be supplied. As the course developed it would take in research, clinical, and other specialist fields.
