Licensed Practical Nurses
Observe National Week
The first practical nurses,
according to Mrs. Ruth Coots, a
Licensed Practical Nurse, were the
persons who took over when one
of the family became ill. Often it
was the mother, sometimes the
grandmother or an aunt.
These women utilized their
acquired knowledge and
developed their nursing talents by
giving assistance as it was needed
throughout their immediate areas.
They were denied the educational
opporutnities offered to the
practical nurse of today, and were
obliged to depend to a great
extent on common sense
augmented by brief instructions
from doctors and from
professional nurses. They learned
by experience.
Their dedication is an
inspiration to present day
practical nurses, officially
observing LPN week from
October 12 through October 16.
As professional nurses, of
which there were never enough,
came to recognize the worth of
the practical nurse they realized
that her value could be increased
by training. The efforts of such
professional nurses, coupled with
the interest of public-spirited
citizens resulted in the opening in
1893 of the first school of
practical nursing in New York
City. A three month course was
offered for the purpose of
teaching women to give simple
nursing care to those in their own
homes. In 1 91 7 a practical
nursing school was opened in
Brattleboro, Va. followed by the
opening of another in Boston a
year later. The latter two schools
are in existence still.
The states began to recognize
the existence of the practical
nurse, and laws were passed
establishing standards to be met.
In 1945 a committee composed
of teachers, professional nurses,
physicians and vocational
educators organized to study the
possibilities of the practical nurse.
"They were looking ahead,"
states Mrs. Coots, herself a LPN
since 1968 when she finished her
schooling in St. Peter's Hospital
School of Nursing in Olympia,
"to the time when the practical
nurse could take her respected
place in the profession with
confidence and with dignity".
The National Federation of
Licensed Practical Nurses was
founded in 1949 and is the offical
organization of LPN's. The
N FLPN is governed by an
executive board elected by the
House of Delegates, which is the
voice of all practical nurses.
To become a practical nurse
one must enroll in an approved
school for a course of at least 12
months duration. Students are
carefully selected, and many
aspects of nursing are covered.
Graduation indicates eligibility
for the state licensing
examination set up for the group.
Upon passing the examination and
paying the required registration fee
the student becomes a Licensed
Pracital Nurse.
There are today more than
700 approved practical nursing
schools. LPNs number well above
200,000, with at least 125,000
employed in hospitals.
The LPN's of Mason county
hold their meetings on the second
Tuesday of each month in the
hospital dining room with
president Hazel Purves presiding.
As a money-raising project for
the purpose of sending local
LPN's to learning centers where
their knowledge and skills will be
furthered, a garage sale will be
held at 7th and Wyandotte on
Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m.
until 5 p.m.
A tea is scheduled for 2:45
p.m. Sunday in the Shelton
Manor Nursing Home.

My kid is one of the few
hunters I have known who has the
superb self-confidence to invite a
houseful of people for a grouse
dinner before he goes hunting; my
daughter-in-law is probably the
only girl in the world who can
make a grouse dinner out of a
picnic ham.
I recently learned from a most
reliable source the sad story of
the quick-tempered gentleman
who was plagued by a housefly.
The obnoxious insect repeatedly
buzzed the poor fellow, who
wished only to relax and read his
evening paper Jn peace. Finally,
driven to distraction, the man
armed himself with a 22. pistol,
determined to shoot the pesky
creature as soon as it lit
somewhere. This he did,
I loathe all bugs
Both large and small;
Those that fly
And those that crawl;
Those that from
Dark corners creep
To walk across me
While I sleep;
Those that straight
As arrows fly
Through summer nights
Into my eye;
Those that lurk
Within the rose
To bide their time
To bite my nose;
Those that dangle
From a thread-
Like web to drop
Upon my head;
But most of all
I hate, I think,
The one that falls
Into my drink.
