Upsurgi-cal Interest
New Superintendent
This year more than 25 trainees have entered the January intake for the Cook Hospital Community Nursing course. There has evidently been an impressive upsurge of interest in the nursing profession, as there is an even larger number of trainees entered for the General Nursing intake in the latter part of this month. The community nursing trainees are pictured here in the lecture room at the Cook Hospital.
The new medical superintendent of the hospital, Dr Winston I. McKean, M.B., Ch.B., M.R.A.C.P., D.P.H., is now well settled in. Dr McKean replaces Mr T. Lawrie, the former superintendent, who took up a position with the Health Department in Wellington.
