AIKENS’ PRIMARY STUDIES

Miss Aikens brings together in this book well-rounded courses of lessons in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, bacteriology, therapeutics, materia medica, dietetics, and invalid cookery—subjects which, with practical nursing technic, constitute the primary studies in a nursing course. Throughout the book there are many practical suggestions and helps. The chapter on dietetics is really a monograph. At the end of the book there are questions for self-examination, arranged by subjects.

=Third Edition—Published June, 1915.= By CHARLOTTE A. AIKENS. Cloth, $1.75 net.

AIKENS’ CLINICAL STUDIES

This work by Miss Aikens is written along the same lines as her successful book for primary students.

It gathers together in one volume matter previously scattered in several books and often very unsystematically taught by lectures. Here you get all this information stated in such a way that the nurse will be able to grasp the subject with ease.

=Third Edition—August, 1916.= By CHARLOTTE A. AIKENS. Cloth, $2.00 net.

Some of the more important chapters are: The superintendent, the medical service of a hospital, the furnishing of a 100-bed hospital, hospital incomes and management, bookkeeping, the hospital store, the kitchen, the laundry, surgical supplies, drug room, the training-school, out-patient department, and laboratory.

=Published April, 1911.= Edited by CHARLOTTE A. AIKENS. Cloth, $3.00 net.

AIKENS’ TRAINING-SCHOOL METHODS

Miss Aikens solves for you those many problems that constantly arise in the management of a training-school. She tells _how_ to teach, _what_ should be taught the nurse, and _how much_. The chapter on hospital ethics and discipline includes such subjects as head nurse’s relation to rules, first principles in teaching ethics, honesty, obedience, personality, social relations, discreteness of speech, carriage, quietness, expression of appreciation, criticism, maintaining discipline, personal responsibility, etc.

By CHARLOTTE A. AIKENS.

AIKENS’ ETHICS FOR NURSES

This book emphasizes the importance of ethical training for nurses. It is a most excellent text-book, particularly well adapted for classroom work. The plan of the book calls for a combination of the recitation and discussion method of class teaching. The book is inspirational in that it will arouse desires to work up to higher standards of life and conduct. The illustrations and practical problems used in the book are drawn from life. There is no other work just like this one.

=Published April, 1916.= By CHARLOTTE A. AIKENS. Cloth, $2.00 net.

The _Fifth Edition_ has been thoroughly revised.

=Published May, 1917.= By EDWARD P. DAVIS, M. D. Buckram, $2.00 net.
