Hospital Problems Topic
Of Interviews V. .h Staff
Some of the problems encoun
tered in operating a hospital
were outlined in an interview
today with Miss B. J. Larsen, ad
ministrator of Rogue Valley Me
morial hospital (Community hos
pital) and members of her staff.
Attention is currently being foc
used on the hospitals, which ob
serve National Hospital week
from May 6 to 12 this year.

Wally thinks it's pure magic the
way I keep our house spotless and
till have so much time for the
things I like to do. Of course, it's
finding faster, easier ways to do
tny housework that really does the
trick. Just take wood floors.
How I haled that messy cleaning
and waxing. And my arms and
back would ache for days
afterwards. Then I heard about
Brace Cleaning "Wax. What a joy!
There's oo floor washing at all
because Bruce cleans as it waxes.
Takes only half the time. To top
it off, tny wood floors never
looked better. Just try a can of '
Bruce Cleaning Wax. Everybody
who uses it thinks it's wonderful.
Incidentally, Tve found ether Bruce
floor products help me, too. There's

lighter waxing, Bruce Paste Wax, ;

technicians, a drug supply equal
to any modern drug store, andi
a "restaurant" which meets de
mands no commercial establish-:
ment could match, as well as ad-,
ministrative personnel, office
employees, maintenance and
laundry workers, Miss Larsen
pointed out.
A total of 115 persons is regu
larly employed to serve patients
occupying the 56 beds in the
hospital. As Mrs. Bernice W.
Nims, director of nurses, points
out, service to patients must be
maintained 24 hours daily, sev-.
en days each week, regardless
of the number of patients -in the
building on any particular day.
A full nursing staff must be
kept on duty, available for
emergencies as well as regular
care. This means that labor costs
make up a large portion of a
hospital bill.
Mrs. Nims has - charge of 70
employees, including 27 regis
tered nurses, 29 aids and 29 li
censed practical nurses, and
three orderlies who do general
floor work. Eight more register
ed nurses and two aids work in
the surgery. Mrs. Nims is on
duty each morning, and the aft
ernoon supervisor is Mrs. Brook
sie Johnson, R. N.
Food for the - patients - and
staff is prepared by a staff of
six persons each day, under the
direction of .Mrs. Tom MacLeod,
dietitian. As Mrs. MacLeod
points out, her work is compli
cated by the fact that a variety
of "diets" must be prepared for
each meal, and care must be
taken to see that each patient
receives only foods approved by
his doctor. ,
The usual directions call for
a "general," "light," "soft," or
liquid" diet, but some patients
may require in addition a special
diet such as salt-free or calorie
reducing. Ordinarily, the staff
is given the same menu as that.
provided on the patients' "gen
eral diet."
Some foods must be ordered
several days in advance a fact
which gives Mrs. MacLeod some
trouble as the need for these
items varies considerably from
day to day: Careful planning is
needed to estimate closely -the
amount of food to prepare.
Mealtimes vary . somewhat
from those patients ordinarily
Observe at home, a. fact necessi
tated by .nursing care schedules
as well as efficiency in prepar
ation. In order to serve meals at
7 ajn., 11 a.m.' and 4 p.m. daily,
cooks', and ' helpers must be on
duty from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
After you have used the auto
