Middlesex Hospital
Establishment for Nurses.
At a recent meeting of the governors of the Middlesex Hospital, it was resolved to erect a suitable building in connexion with the hospital as a residence for women to be trained and educated as nurses for the sick in hospitals and private families. It is intended that the building shall afford accommodation for 66 pupils, each being provided with a separate apartment. There will be a refectory, laundry, bath-room, and every accommodation for a model building. The sum required to carry out this object is calculated to be about £6,000, towards which the Marquis of Westminster has contributed the handsome donation of £1,000. Twelve governors gave at the meeting 100 guineas each, and smaller sums amounting to £300 were also subscribed, making a total of over £2,500 subscribed in a few days towards the promotion of this very important establishment.
