This consisted of 3 points in English, 3 points in Chemistry, 2\npoints in Educational Psychology, 4 points in Public Health Nursing, and 2 points\nin Social Work. She made very good grades, and contributed to class discussions.\nMrs. Long had no field work under our supervision.\"\nHenry Street Visiting Nurse Service, New York City, ELIZABETH MACKENZIE, Acting General\nDir. of Nursing Service, 3/9/37. \"Mrs. Long is a staff nurse in this organization\nsince January 1926 having been absent from the staff for varying lengths of time\namounting to ap roximately three years. As a staff nurse, Mrs. Long gives excellent\nnursing care arranging her work systematically and carrying out her plan intelligently.\nShe teaches clearly inspiring confidence and studying her material to the capacity of\nthe families. She is well acquainted with resources of the community and uses them\nintelligently for the betterment of her families' problems. Mrs. Long has a pleasant\npersonality, adjusts well to people, understands other peoples' viewpoint and co-\noperates easily. During 1936 Mrs. Long was given the senior staff experience which\nconsists of assisting the supervisor with the undergraduate students, preparing and\ngiving their conferences, and assisting with their field supervision. She carried the\nresponsibility well, demonstrated an ability to plan the work of a student group to\nadvantage, adjusting the field work to supplement conferences; made her material\ninteresting and helpful to the students.\"\nRecreation Rooms and Settlement, New York City, CAROLINE H. THIEN, Supervisor Medical\nSocial Service, 3/9/37. \"From the spring of 1932 until July 1, 1935 when she left us\nto go to summer school at Teachers' College for further study, Mrs. Long was with us\ntwo and one half days each week by special arrangement with the Henry Street Nursing\nService. We were not able to pay for full time services of a specially trained public\nhealth nurse. That arrangement would not have terminated if we had had the money to\ncontinue. Mrs. Long is a very capable person. She was given full charge of our clinics\n(health and preschool for our own groups) and the necessary follow up work. In the summer\nshe assisted with the medical inspections for our playschool and camps. She is a person\nof very pleasing personality and affable manner, and, through her tact and common sense,\nestablished a very satisfactory relationship between herself and the patient or client.\nHer interest in and understanding of people's problems as a whole made her services\nvaluable to us. Aside from being a very delightful person, she is an excellent nurse and\nteacher. We parted with her very reluctantly because she was not only dependable, but\nhighly efficient in organizing and executing her job.\""
