Nurses' Graduation

Six nurses received their registered nurses' medals and certificates at the Cook Hospital nurses' graduation ceremony at the War Memorial Hall recently. The moving candle-lighting ceremony, in which graduates light individual candles from the Florence Nightingale lamp, was followed by the presentation of medals and prizes. This was climaxed by the announcement of the silver medal winner, who on this occasion, was Staff Nurse Rosalie Moyle.
