My dear Miss Beard:

I am very sorry indeed to learn that my application
for
enrollment in the Red Cróss Nursing Service has been rejected.

In the event, the special courses I have taken were not
adequately outlined in the amount of space allowed on my applica-
tion blank, I am re-stating this information below:
Postgraduate
Place
Date
Length
of Course
Psychiatry City Hospital,
10/1/37 to
Cleveland, 0.
2/1/38
4 mos.
Obstetrics
Chicago Lying-in
Hospital, Chicago,
5/2/38 to
Ill.
9/6/38
4 mos. or,
approx. 18 wks.
Communicable Philadelphia
Disease
Hospital for
10/1/38 to
Contagious
present
Diseases,
time.
3 mos.
Philadelphia.
University:- Practical courses; Washington University, St. Louis, Mo;;
as follows:
Pediatric Nursing (Included in major to be applied as
credit on degree.)
1 mo.
Visiting Nursing (With the Visiting Nurse Associa-
tion of St. Louis.)
9 wks.
Total: Amount of time spent in actual hospital nursing - 12 mos.
"
"
visiting nursing -
2 mos.
It is true our hospital had a small daily average during my
period of training, and I should have never asked for enroll-
ment on that basis. However, I have done my utmost to remove
this handicap and have sacrificed a great deal both in time and
money. In view of these facts your further consideration would
be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
ada a. Boyd
