Nuns.
Sisters (Anglican).
Ladies.
Nurses.
The Nuns were received not as Nuns, but as Nurses.
Their (so called) training told sometimes against us; sometimes for us.
The same with the “Sisters” (Anglican).
The Ladies were useful, exactly in proportion as they approached the
professional, and not the dilettante, mode of thought.
A larger proportion of paid Nurses than of Ladies did well, and this
under circumstances of peculiar temptation. Paid Nurses are always the
most useful.
