TRAINING OF NURSES
POSITION IN THE NORTH [by telegraph—OWN correspondent] WHANGAREI, Monday The Whangarei Hospital Board today received a suggestion from the Mangonui Hospital Board for co-opera-tion between the two boards with reference to trainees and probationers. The Mangonui Board stated that its hospital was at one time a B grade training school, but this status had now been abolished, and the time spent by girls on its staff did not count at all in their training. Mr. J. A. S. Mackay said he did not think the Kaitaia girls should have any preference. Tho Whangarei Board had laid down its policy that tho most suitable applicants would receive appointments at the matron's discretion. The fact of having one year's service did not givo a preferential claim. After hearing tho matron, the board decided to advise the Mangonui Hospital Board of its policy, and that it regretted it could not givo a binding preference, as the matter of selection was entirely in the hands of the matron.
