Professional details
| Work experience | Nurses Weekly Journal Vol 10, 2 Feburary 1893 THE new Matron, Miss Nott-Bower, trained at Guy's-working there from 1882 to 1888--when, for a few months, she acted as the matron of the Huddersfield Infirmary. Since then, to the present date, Miss Nott-Bower acted as Lady Superintendent of Guy's Hospital Trained Nurses' Institution, in St. Thomas Street, so that her whole nursing interest is centred in this fine old Hospital, founded by Thomas Guy in a by-gone century. Knowing as she does so intimately the duties and needs of her future subordinates, she will doubtless sympathise with their difficulties, and it is not likely that we shall read again of Guy's Nurses like Oliver Twist " asking for more.'' It is to be hoped that their just demands have already received consideration. |
