CONDITIONS FOR NURSES

In future dance and late leave for nurses is to be granted regularly each month, in addition to which nurses will be permitted occasional dances within the hospital precincts, to which frinds may be invited conditionally on no intoxicating liquor being allowed in the grounds or consumed in cars outside.
While suggesting that the report should be adopted, the chairman, Mr. W. !•;. Broderick, who was chairman of the committee, said that nothing of a drastic nature had prompted the committee being formed. Several minor matters had been investigated, however, and he thought, the new proposals would mean a happier stall' and would benefit the institution generally. Statements were made before the ' committee by various members called from the nursing stall' and ranging from the matron to a second-year nurse. The chairman added that if was agreed by all who gave evidence that the working hours and conditions bad' considerably improved.
