The Nurses Window

Robert Lawrence

My mother Dorothy Savidge (Lawrenc) was a nurse there (Cental Islip and graduated in the class of 1939. She is 93 yrs old now and in hospice care.

She told the story of living in Pa. and her girlfriend saw an ad
to get nurse training. She said something about $39.00. Is that
what the ad said tuition would cost, or was that what the trainees
were paid.? The ad did not mention it was a "state" hospital. I would
like to be able to tell the story right! Thanks.
