              NURSES ENJOY LAS VEGAS DUTY
(Last month we mentioned that several of our
nurses are assisting the Saint Anthony Hospital in
Las Vegas, New Mexico for a month.  Following is an
cerpt from a letter which Jane Cramer and Patricia
inton sent to the hospital.)
"Miss Cramer and I have now spent two weeks in
Las Vegas, New Mexico at St. Anthony's Hospital and
are looking forward to the coming two weeks, but with
some regret, for when they end, we will have to leave
this beautiful country and town for which we have
acquired so great a liking."
"...St. Anthony's Hospital has been of service to
this community for over 71 years. It was founded by the
Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth in 1896 as a sana-
torium. In 1918 it was converted to a general hospital
used mainly by our servicemen returning from war.
Since that time it has remained a general hospital,
except for a few years in the 30's when it was a state
crippled childrens' hospital.
"...Presently there are seven Sisters, with Sister
Ann Raymond as Administrator. It has an active staff of
nine medical doctors, a courtesy staff of four dental
surgeons, a consulting staff of three pathologists and
three radiologists. St. Anthony's has a training program
for nurse aides which works in conjunction with the
peal schools and state department of vocational educa-
bn. Since our arrival the Director of Nursing Service
has combined the nursing stations so there is only one
station located on Center. This has proved to be a more
efficient way of taking care of the patients while utiliz-
ing the staff.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank
Saint Joseph for granting us the experience of working
at St. Anthony's. We have enjoyed it immensely and it
is an experience not to be forgotten."
OUTPATIENT BROCHURE HELPS PATIENTS
A striking blue and white striped brochure is now
available for patients who are visiting the Out-patient
Department for the first time.
The new explanatory brochure was developed by
the Out-Patient Department to meet the needs of an
increased patient load and expanded services. The
brochure explains the procedures performed in this
department and the policies, and answers many ques-
tions often asked by the patients and visitors who are
under distress and concern.
