Clyde Dickson registered nurse who is a graduate of the second class of Watts Hospital School of Nursing and the first public health nurse In Durham County This month has been set aside as nurse recruitment month throughout the nation and young women are being urged to become members of the nursing profession A chat with Mrs Dickson would convince any young woman that nursing is an opportunity and a way to a full life At the age of 77 Mrs Dickson is now living in Chapel Hill with her two daughters She isn't retired she is now nursing her Dowers and her favorite "patient1 is a pink lotus When I called this week she was making bread and butter pickles that set up a grand perfume in the kitchen where we chatted Mrs Dickson is a pioneer in her field She had the courage to follow her conviction that nursing was not a menial job but was on a par with the profession of medicine Left a widow with two children she had begun to study stenography with Lindsay and had been assured a job as a librarian In secret though she had applied to enter Watts Hospital School of Nursing because even as a child she had a desire to fol low in the footsteps of Florence Nightengale- When she was accepted by Watts Hospital her family 'thought she had disgraced them but when she saved the life of her brother's wife through prompt emergency action and nursed her parents through influenza they began to understand the true nature of her profession When she entered Watts training class in 1895 there were three undergraduate nurses: Mrs Sol Mason Miss Annie Furgeson and Miss Lily Cowan who is now Mrs CL Mitchell There was one night nurse thtee day nurses and one surgical tiuisc one orderly one cook and one mafd The nurses were on 12 hours duty -and attended classes In

years went by how the hospital came to be accepted and how it grew Into one of the outstanding hospitals in the South She found each of her patients were like another book to be opened and read In all of her years of nursing there was only one person who did not appreciate all that she did for her and that was a woman who had been shot by her lover and who had no desire to live In the first days patients were brought from the highways and from the hedges Mrs Dickson remembers that her first pa tient after she received her cap Famous General HORIZONTAL 3 Sepulchral 1 Pictured Civil stone chest
