New Zealand Nurses in America

Sister Guinness, late of Trentham Hospital, who, with Sister Binsted, recently left to do some Work m the United Stales, writes from San Francisco, as follows: "We had a very enjoyable trip over, but I was not sorry when we arrived, not being the best of sailors. San Francisco is a wonderful city: 1 like it. It is hilly, and so far the weather has been very good. We have both been very fortunate as regards work, and we arrived just when the American nurses were having- Christmas vacation, and we were called straight away. I am at a very nice hospital, m San Mateo, and have had two wry charming women as patients. I believe this is

where the nicest people live, but it is raf;her far from the city. Do you remember Miss Jennings? She is here, too; and Claire Everett is at a private house not far away. Sister Cameron is with the Bveretts, and I am with Sisters Taylor and Binsted. The apartments here are wonderful little places — very compact and convenient. We met some very nice Americans on the boat, and were given two letters of introduction to doctors here, bur so far have not had to use them. The American ifurses we have so far met have been very nice to us. I believe there are quite a number of Australians and New Zealanders here."
