[9] With regard to children we might look forward to a time when a school might be formed for the children, if any, of such of Her Majesty’s Nurses as are widows. This would be an additional bond to the Service for the mothers. The children, of course, are not to be admitted into Hospital; and strict rules must be made (and kept to) as to when the mother should visit them. I do not anticipate that it would be possible ever to have married women in the Service. And it is hardly necessary to add, that no women but of unblemished character can ever be admitted. [10] Should a woman, however, out of the higher orders, be found as efficient as one of the middle classes, as Matron, this should be no reason for excluding her. [11] If it be desired to include some War-Nurses after 40 it would be better for the Superintendent-General, with the sanction of the Secretary of State, to take, at first starting, a few past the age, than, on their account, to alter the age. It stands to reason that, on the formation of the Staff, approved Nurses of the War-Service should be included in it, for the sake of the Service. [12] It is better to omit the Belief. Singularly enough it is the one thing objected to by Dissenters and Roman Catholics. [13] If the Surgeons are for the men doing it, I would not overpress this point. But, in the case of weak patients, it requires extra care, and it would be much better to leave it as the duty of the Nurse. At all events it will not answer to leave the enema and its administrator unspecified. The Medical Staff Regulations assign it to the Ward-Masters. It is a simple thing enough, but one by the careless or ignorant administration of which many a man (and woman) has been injured for life; and either the Ward-Master, the Assistant Ward-Master, or the Nurse should be responsible for it. I should prefer, as above stated, charging the Nurse with it; but if objected to by the Surgeons, I should at once let them assign it to whichever Non-commissioned Officer they chose. [14] One Nurse might possibly be able to serve the whole Pavilion. The highest estimate is here taken.
