DIPLOMA OF NURSING
NURSES SENT TO ENGLAND. TOUR OF DOMINION. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, March 26. According to a statement made by the Minister of Health in 1925 the Otago University decided to institute a diploma of nursing and a post-graduate course for nurses and by way of assisting the Government at the recommendation of the Health Department sent two New Zealand nurses to England and Canada for special training. They were Miss Moore, matron of the Hamilton Hospital, and Miss Lambie. The idea was to train them in the higher phases of the nursing profession with a view to becoming tutors at the Otago University. Miss Moore is back and Miss Lambie is shortly due, but the University refuses to pay their salaries though the ladies would be in their employ and it has not borne the cost of training. It was intended they should train the nurses for diplomas, who in turn would become tutors to other nurses throughout New Zealand. The Minister has therefore decided to send them round the hospitals and make their services directly available to all nurses who desire to profit by them. This will be done in the main centres first. The Minister considers this a better plan than the first intention and thinks the University has missed its opportunity.
