| Additional professional details | London Hospital Training Report: I would have been quite willing to appoint her Staff Nurse but her health failed very much towards the end of her training and she preferred to leave for a long rest with a view to taking up some lighter work when she felt thoroughly strong again. She was the sort of nurse one could recommend with confidence and a very clever person was not needed but she would work best with others to supervise her. |
