Show The Philadelphia School for Nurses has purchased pur-chased large properties at 2219-25 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and will extend the benefits of the Free Course in nursing to young women of every rural community and of the smaller towns and cities throughout the entire country. The course is two years, but may be shortened to eighteen months by six months' reading and study at home. The school provides room, board, nurse uniforms, uni-forms, gives full instruction, and pays the student's stu-dent's fare home at the end of the course. A special short course is provided for those who cannot spend two years in the study, but who wish to quickly prepare themselves for self-support. The object of those who are providing the funds for this- work is to ultimately extend, the benefits of skilled nursing to every village and township in the land. Nearly 200 free scholarships will be available this year. |
