The girls who are temporarily

the children's and women's wards

16).
During their first day on
duty the teenagers washed
and made beds helped feed
patients read stories to the
children and did sundry other
tasks.
The girls who are from 15 to
18 didn't have too much to say
about their first day on the job—
the looks on their faces explained
to any passerby that they were
happy to be able to be of help
at the hospital.
However the nurses all praised
the girls for the job they have
done since beginning the training
course in October.
Lt. Col. Robena C. Anderson
Chief Nurse at the hospital said
that the girls are proving to be
a valuable asset to the hospital.
She added that the training they

THE ARMORED SENTINEL FORT HOOD TEXAS
Senior Girl Scouts Complete
Volunteer Training Program
Five Fort Hood girls are con
sidered "worth their weight in
gold" at the U.S. Army Hospital
Fort Hood.
gold."
The idea of starting a nursing
training program for Senior Girl
Scouts originated last August
when Mrs. Connie Schneider then
leader of the Senior Girl Scouts
contacted Colonel Anderson to see
if the hospital had a program of
training girls to become volunteer
hospital workers.
The hospital didn't at the
time but the idea was quickly
approved by Col. Joseph W.
Batch commander U. S.
Army Hospital wlio felt it
would be beneficial to both the
Girl Scouts and also to
hospital.
The next problem was to ob
tain volunteer instructors who
would teach the girls the funda
mentals of nursing.
However Mrs. Burgreen assist
ed by Mrs. W. A. Borkowski and
Mrs. Floyd A. McBride all
nurses agreed to do the teaching
in their spare time.
For a Senior Girl Scout to be
come eligible to take the course
it is necessary that she takes
re re he on he
Scouts' Five-Point program and
successfully complete it.
This program consists of
camping out one weekend
giving time and service' in
helping some other person or
organization taking a refresh
er course on emergency pre
paration in case of a fire
flood or disaster learning
about the organization of the
Girl Scouts from the local
world-wide level and expand
ing their own interests such
as starting new hobbies.
The first class was held in Oc
tober in the Hospital's Nursing
Arts Classroom.
Among the subjects the girls
were taught during the 30-hour
course were making beds giving
assistance in feeding patients and
the taking of temperatures pulses
and respirations.
During the course practical
demonstrations were given on the
be in a he
were also given an opportunity to
practice so they wouldn't be ner
vous when they went "on duty."
The classes were held every
S at a or in or
hours and again on Monday
afternoons for an hour and
one-half.
Last Saturday the teenagers
were given the opportunity to put
the knowledge they gained in
classes to practical use. For two
and one-half hours they worked
in the children's and women's
wards assisting the nurses in their
duties.
Plans at the time call for the
girls to work two and one-half
hours on Saturday mornings and
an hour and one-half on Monday
afternoons.
For duty the girls wear red
and white striped uniforms. The
idea of wearing the uniform or
iginated from the uniform Jerri
Matheson wore while. taking a
similar course in Temple.
The uniforms are called
"Candy Stripers" by the man
ufacturers and the five "teen
age nurses" are occasionally
called "Candy-Stripers" by
the nurses.
Plans are now underway for
three more Senior Girl Scouts of
Troop 117 to begin the 30-hour
course in February.
Mrs. Burgreen will once again
be chief instructor for the train
ing program. Mrs. Borkowski will
also assist. Mrs. McBride will be
unable to assist in the next
course Mrs. Burgreen said.
