Some hospitals will take Rills of
eighteen as muses, but the lequiie
ments differ with the different hospitals
and jour qualifications have a gient
dnal to do with being accepted as ,i
" Rtudent. The only wn to find out about
u this is to call up the hospital ami talk
" to the supeiintendent of nuises. because
you can judge for ourself how joh
answer to the lequiremcnts. The Sal-

Rtrect and tairntonnt nvenye. and theie
' you can find out moie nbout the or-
