'Possible Careers', No. 3 - 'Nursing as a Career', by Mrs. Lucy Seymer, M.A., S.R.N.
Today it is the turn of the girls. and the career to be discussed is nursing.
Mrs. Lucy Seymer is going to tell you exactly what will lie before you if you decide to become a probationer in one of our general training hospitals, and no one is better able to tell you. She took her degree at Oxford, served as a V.A.D. in the War, and then went through the three years' training at St. Thomas's Hospital, and so became a qualified nurse. Besides all this practical experience, she has written 'A General History of Nursing' and has been a lecturer at the College of Nursing. So if you have any ideas about taking up this life, you must listen to all she says this afternoon.
