Training must show her how the effects on life of nursing may be calculated with nice precision, such care or carelessness, such a sick rate, such a duration of case, such a death rate. In 1871, St. Thomas’ Hospital removed to the large new buildings in its present location near the Houses of Parliament, London, and with the occupation of the new building, the number of nurses and probationers in the Nightingale School greatly increased. New problems in management were created and Miss Nightingale feared that her high ideals for the nurses were not being realized as fully as she desired. Her health having improved, she determined on a closer supervision of the school, by herself. One result of this supervision, as she herself afterward stated, was that “the training school became a Home--a place of moral, religious and practical training--a place of training character, habits, and intelligence, as well as of acquiring knowledge.” She knew as much, probably, as any hospital superintendent knows today, of the problem of securing the right kind of young women to be trained, and she was fully convinced that a good nurse must be first of all a good woman. When applications came to her from smaller cities and towns for trained nurses to take charge of the nursing, she was accustomed to reply, “Have you sent me any probationers? I can’t stamp material out of the ground.” Her character sketches, as preserved among her papers, of some of the probationers she had to deal with in those days, show her keen insight into human nature. “Miss A. Tittupy, flippant, pretension-y, veil down, ambitious, clever, not much feeling, talk-y, underbred, no religion, may be persevering from ambition to excel but takes the thing up as an adventure.” “Nurse B. A good little thing, spirited, too much friends with G., shares in her flirtations.” “Miss X. More cleverness than judgment, more activity than order, more hard sense than feeling, never any high view of her calling, always thinking more of appearances than of the truth, more flippant than witty, more petulance than vigor.” These are typical of her notes written after personal conversation with different probationers. The great necessity of some such notes is shown in the enormous demand that had been created for trained nurses for other hospitals--to fill responsible positions where they would have the choosing and training of other nurses. These demands came to her unceasingly in the earlier years of trained nursing.
