NURSING AS A CAREER
Medical And Health Department Taking Part In Exhibition
The Medical and Health Department is taking up two stalls in the
Careers Exhibition opening in the Wanchai reclamation later this month to
draw attention to the rewards of nursing as a profession.
One stall will deal with general nursing, and the other with
psychiatric nursing.
In the general nursing stall, there will be demonstrations throughout
the day of a nurse at work by the bedside of a patient. She will be seen
taking care of him, and attending to his needs.
In the psychiatric nursing stall, a model of the new Princess
Margaret Hospital will be on display. This hospital is composed of two wings
the general and the psychiatric, with 1,300 beds in each wing.
The general wing is expected to open in the latter part of next
year, and the psychiatric wing by 1978. The model gives an accurate impression
of what the completed project will look like.
The complex includes the third nursing school proposed by the Medical
Development Advisory Committee in its recently-published report. The present
two schools are in the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth hospitals.
A model of a human brain will also be displayed in the psychiatric
nursing stall, as well as photographe relating to paychiatric nursing now
being carried out in hospitals such as the Castle Peak Hospital.
