I have known Sister Lazenby for the past four years, and have had abundant opportunities of judging of her work in the various departments of this Institution; for the past two and a half years she has filled the responsible post of Sister in the Children's Wards, being in charge of two large wards.
It gives me great pleasure in being able to testify to her capability as a Nurse. I have always found her work done in a satisfactory & thorough manner.
Sister Lazenby has intimately acquainted herself with the requirements of her profession, and in an emergency is self-possessed and reliable. It is with every confidence that I recommend her for the post she is now seeking.

Sister Lazenby has been for the last five years at the Sheffield Royal Infirmary, and during that time I have had ample opportunity of observing her work. She is a thoroughly competent and reliable Nurse - takes a sympathetic interest in the patients under her care, and discharges her duties conscientiously.
She has managed the Wards under her charge as Sister, admirably, and I can recommend her with confidence for a similar appointment elsewhere.
