Graduation Ceremony

The impressive and inspiring nursing graduation ceremony of Cook Hospital was held this year in conjunction with the annual conference of the New Zealand Red Cross Society. A highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of the Florence Nightingale Medal, one of the highest distinctions of the nursing profession, to Miss F. J. Cameron, O.B.E., Director-General of Nursing Services (See feature in this issue on the conference).
