needs feel ashamed of such moods in the presence 
of the sunny nurse. 
Let us all learn to let the sunshine into our 
hearts as well as to let it shine upon us. “Let 
the sunshine in” and it will radiate from the eyes 
and the smile of the good nurse; be felt in the 
touch of her gentle, kindly hand, and in the tones 
of her cheerful, hope-inspiring voice. 
It is not only the blessed privilege of each 
nurse to be the best nurse possible and to be all 
that is truest, purest and most perfect among 
women, but it is also her duty. So shall every 
nurse be beloved and in being beloved do her 
best and noblest work. 
“The world may sound no trumpet, 
Ring no bells, the Book of Life 
The shining record tells.”
