Army Nurse Corps News
Collected by Miss Elizabeth P. Uzelmeier
Letters from the girls who have recently been transferred
from here to other hospital are filled with enthusiasm for the work and life at
Camp Greene, which they with deep regret had to leave. Most of all they miss
our cheery dining room and well-cooked meals and the general atmosphere of
“home” which pervades our quarters. The lack of recreational facilities such as
have been provided here has also been keenly felt. We who have been fortunate
enough to remain greatly appreciate the sentiment which has been expressed, for
the day will come when to us, also, our work and stay here will be but a
pleasant memory.
Discharged
Illness in her immediate family has caused Miss Ruth Grimes
of Derby, Iowa, to return to her home. She will not return to continue her
course as a student nurse.
Miss Pauline Doherty, student nurse, was suddenly called to
her home in Flint, Mich., on account of the illness of her sister, leaving this
hospital January 13. She does not expect to return.
Miss Emma Schimmelman, R.N., A.N.C. left for her home in
Evansville, Ind., January 15, having received her discharge orders.
Successful Operation
Miss Sarah Hall of Brookline, Mass., student nurse, was
operated upon on Wednesday afternoon. The operation was very successful, and
Miss Hall is improving rapidly.
Miss Her Now
The nurses in the “A” street quarters face a bleak
breakfastless future. No more at 6 a.m. will we hear the cheery call, “Time to
get up, girls! ---Pete!” It is with sincere regret we lose our faithful bugler,
Miss Schimmelman, who returned to civilian life this week.
Visitor
Mrs. Cressman is sivising her daughter, Katherine Cressman, one
of the student nurses.
