However, it is also just as clear to have, meaning something in the spiritual world. That to that when you do not regularly go to church and fellowship me is a marvelous reward. and renew your spiritual strength on Sabbath, your spiritual life is at risk. Sterndale: When a nurse is in the hospital, can she be aware that it is the Sabbath and attempt to have a day that is special for the patient, or is the workload so great that there's not time to give thought to the Sabbath? Hayden: When you have a family and small children, working on Sabbath creates a big problem. Also I think it's much more difficult than it used to be before the advent of television. Many patients are watching television all day on Sabbath as well as on other days. What do you do when you are giving care in the room and the television is on? Sterndale: Most of our hospitals have spent some time studying how to run the hospital and keep the Sabbath, also. Many of them have come up with some ideas that are helpful to the whole institution on keeping the Sabbath as a special day. It's very difficult in hospitals where the patients are active, such as in psychiatric hospitals, or in areas of the hospital where the patients are not confined in bed. Johnsson: Why don't we have a fully, 100 percent, Adventist nursing staff in our hospitals? Sterndale: We have more nursing needs than we have Adventist nurses who are active in nursing; therefore we are forced to use others. However, I don't think this is bad per se if the hiring people are careful to get the right kind of nurses. Frequently patients learn as much from a non-Adventist nurse as they do from an SDA nurse. This situation also gives the hospital or the institution the opportunity to witness to those people who are in their continuous employment. We frequently learn of employees who become Seventh-day "A nurse knows about the art of Adventists. nursing, but more than that, Johnsson: So you're saying that the ministry open to nurses is wider than merely to the patients? caring is the core of nursing." Sterndale: Yes. We also have to include the non-Advent- ist employees in the hospital situation and the patient —Elizabeth Sterndale families.

Johnsson: What are the educational requirements for nurses? Sterndale: Nurses are required to complete an accredited nursing program and pass a State board examination. The program may be two, three, or four years in length. A nurse may get a diploma in nursing, an Associate degree, a Bachelor's degree, or go on for a Master's and a Ph.D. All our Adventist colleges in the United States offer nursing programs. Johnsson: Is there a trend toward expecting a Master's degree? Sterndale: I don't think there's a trend toward expecting it, but for certain positions a Master's degree is necessary. The Master's program is offered at Loma Linda University, Andrews University, and at Philippine Union College. Johnsson: What other trends have you noticed? Sterndale: Twenty years ago it was uncommon for someone over 35 to take nursing; now it has become quite popular. When a woman of 35 to 40 takes nursing she is likely to stay in this work the rest of her working life, whereas a person 18 years old is likely to get married and rear a family and maybe never return to nursing. Johnsson: Do you find older nurses among Adventists also? Sterndale: Last September I had an article on the Back Page of the ADVENTIST REVIEW asking for nurses 70 years "In a hospital, patients, perhaps for old and older to write to me. I have received nearly 200 the first time in their life, are thinking letters. It's exciting to read them. Some say, "I'm 83 and I about what life is about." stopped nursing last year" or "I've had three very lovely Christian husbands" or "My children have done thus and —Iris Hayden so."

Men always the rule, but it was a common weakness With work assignments of 60 or more hours per week, class periods often were welcomed as an opportunity to sit down and rest. All students were periodically on call for emergency surgery and deliveries. Cot duty was another type of assignment in some sanitariums. A cot was placed beside a patient's bed or near a telephone if several patients were to be served. The cot was where the student could sleep between calls. The practice was based on the fiction that if a place was provided to lie down, the nurse would get sufficient rest regardless of the number of calls. Cot duty did not diminish regular daytime assignments. In due time the situation improved. Bit by bit the apprenticeship type of program was phased out in favor of classroom and laboratory learning. The 1890s were a time of rapid expansion as the burgeoning Adventist missionary movement extended into new countries.

Even the zamindar of Teleprole, a regional ruler, was willing to put himself in their hands. The zamindar long had been a friend of the hospital, and the compounders considered it a privilege to care for him. Although his illness did not appear serious, he died after an eight-day hospitalization. Although he was not a professed Christian, he was seen at times in an attitude of prayer and was heard thanking God for the two young men who cared for him. Before his death he requested a Christian funeral and burial free of the usual heathen rituals, much to the displeasure of his family. While he made no public Nurses used natural remedies (here, hot fomentations) at the old profession of faith, the compounders knew that he had Friedensau Sanitarium, which opened in 1901 in Germany. sincerely given his heart to God.

hat is love? Many books have been written about it. WPoems have extolled it. People have lived and died for it. True love is stronger than anything else in this world, yet it is not of this world at all. I had been working for only a short time in the Respiratory Intensive Care unit of a Western hospital. The sounds, smells, and activities there were still new to me. I liked the intensity of the unit: I had to work hard, and I loved it. There was much to learn, and that interested me. I paid close attention to the registered nurse's report. Name, age, treatment, plan, medications, IV settings, vital signs, and doctor's orders—all were included. With a short "Good luck," she was gone. When I entered the room I was almost overwhelmed at the array of supplies and the great respirator. The throbbing life-support system belonged to the frail figure on the crisp, white sheets. So thin and pale, she was nearly lost beneath the mountain of man-made wonders. Quietly I approached her. Eyelids flickered open to reveal two of the brightest blue eyes imaginable. They had pain in them, but they were great pools of peace. Hazel's complicated disease made her dependent upon the respirator that wheezed and clicked beside her. Life seemed a fragile thread. Death lurked everywhere—everywhere, that is, except in those blue eyes. They seemed bright and full of living. Her lips formed a silent Hello. I told her who I was and that she would be in my care. So we were introduced, and a friendship began. It was one in which she gave every bit as much as I did. Hazel was surrounded with love. She had a husband, children, and sisters. They brought her homemade goodies to testify that they loved her and to tempt her poor appetite. My only equipment would be my heart They rubbed her back and turned her. Sometimes they read and all I could draw out of it. the Bible or were just there. I never minded the family being on the unit. Sickness is a family affair, not a sterile, convenient performance by medical people. The loving touch is a great healer. She had been on the unit for many months. Her care was complicated. It caused pain. Her disease caused pain. But Hazel's mind was clear and active. Her spirit was as gentle and free as yellow warblers in spring. Over the weeks it was easy to learn to love her, but as yet that love was not tested. Soon it would be, however, in a way I could not have imagined. The day came when Hazel, her family, and the medical team talked of her future and the options. On one side was a period of time when, maybe, life could be maintained a while longer by the equipment. No one knew for how long. On the other hand, there was a chance she could be weaned from the

By ALLAN HANDYSIDES

Building on the heritage gained from expatriates, African nurses rapidly are assuming roles of leadership and service.

ncreasingly the history of Adventist nursing is being made I today by national nurses in Africa. The day still is far away when expatriate missionary nurses will not be needed, but already local nurses are assuming a vital place on the national scene. It was not always this way. At least in many mission fields the history of Adventist nursing can be called "an attempt at a superhuman task." Nurses came from foreign lands, often as single workers, to work unstintingly among a grateful but demanding populace. Frequently with meager initiation to help them understand the local culture, with little emotional support, and with the most elementary kinds of equipment, Adventist nurses have forged ahead. An outstanding example of an expatriate nurse in service is Joan Johnson, matron at Malamulo Hospital in Malawi. She is from Jamaica, British-trained, and richly experienced in obstetrics and surgery. I knew her at Branson Hospital in Ontario, Canada, where she ran an operating room that was African nurses, such as this one at Kanye Hospital in Botswana an example of efficiency. Then she moved to Florida (1972), rapidly are assuming roles of leadership and service. Hospital. Some thought it a bit strange when she decided to come to their immediate environs.
