NURSE SCHOLARSHIP
Florence Nightingale Memorial By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, August 17. Delegates representing the Red Cross Society and the Registered Nurses’ Association assembled at Wellington to-day in connection with an international memorial to Florence Nightingale, which is to take the form of scholarships. Miss Lambic, Director of Nursing fur the Department of Health, who presided, said that in view of tho fact that New Zealand had always kept abreast of modern developments in medical and nursing matters, it appeared advisable that the Dominion should co-opcrato with the international committee appointed in London and should endeavour to collect funds to enable a scholarship to be awarded to a New Zealand nurse to take a post-graduate course in London in 1935-36. The Registered Nurses’ Association intended to collect £2OO by April of next year. A motion was earned by tho delegates that tho Red Cross Society should take steps to collect a similar sum by the same date. A small committee was set up to draw up rules governing the terms of the scholarship. These are to bo submitted to a subsequent meeting of tho joint committee for consideration and approval.
