CHAPTER XXV
In 1901, John? Hopkins University has a nursing program. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In 1924, Yale University first established a School of Nursing, and students graduated with a bachelor's degree......
For Americans in this era, it is a natural behavior to run behind Europeans, especially Britain, France, and Germany, for example, the social trend is to follow the British, and higher education and technology to follow the Germans, but in some ways they are not so close. For example, the opening of nursing schools is much worse than that of Europe, which was greatly influenced by Nightingale.
So when John proposed to open a nursing school, he was met with strong opposition from Thomas!
“…… The most important thing is that the training system of the hospital can fully meet our needs! ”
At the end of the day, Thomas's emotions became a little agitated and he said loudly, "If there is a special enrollment of nursing students in medical school...... John, have you ever thought that girls with some knowledge would be willing to become nurses? And if the admission criteria are drastically lowered, what will we think about the medical doctors who can only be admitted after getting a bachelor's degree? Have you ever thought about any of this? ”
"This ......"
After hearing this, John immediately smiled bitterly.
Inspired by Nightingale's letter, John came up with the idea of building a nursing school to replace the trouble of training new nurses every year at the hospital. But after listening to Thomas, John realized that his thinking was a little ahead of his time - although there were many nursing schools in Europe these years, and even in North America and Asia, they were basically Nightingale: whether they had a medical foundation or not, as long as they were willing to study.
In this day and age, it seems that enough is enough.
But......
"If that's the case, then open a separate school!"
After a moment of silence, John raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "In any case, the nursing school must be opened, not only to meet the needs of our own hospital, but also to regulate nursing behavior...... Thomas, don't you want to promote the nursing philosophy of our hospital to the whole United States and even the world? ”
"Of course!"
Without thinking, Thomas nodded immediately, but he quickly reacted and said with a wry smile: "John, I understand what you mean, but ...... If you run a school, you can't put it in a medical school, because it will cause dissatisfaction among others, but where should you put it? What about the funds? How to solve the problem of teachers? And most importantly, the textbook for nursing school......"
"No problem, I'll leave it to me!"
Without waiting for Thomas to finish all the questions, John simply waved his hand and said, "Since I have made up my mind to run this nursing school, I will naturally arrange all this ...... properly."
……
Surrounded by many things, time passed day by day.
In June 1895, the first graduating class of Heinz Medical School graduated, and Cushing and other Americans trained themselves to train real "modern medical students" received a doctorate certificate signed by John, and entered Heinz General Hospital for residency training with a high salary. For them, the study is not over, and in order to obtain a license to practice at Heinz Medical College, they also need to undergo a minimum of two years and a maximum of four years of residency training.
Of course, if they don't want to, they don't need to "waste" their time.
In the United States in 1895, no one would force them to do residency training, and if they wanted to practice medicine, they didn't have to get John? The certificate issued by Mr. Huntelaar. In fact, in most parts of the United States these days, there was no need for accreditation to practice medicine, because the American people, who had an "anti-intellectual" tradition, did not think that they needed approval to practice a profession, so the original admission system was eliminated until they paid a heavy price for it......
For graduates of Heinz Medical College, many people and hospitals have been coveting for a long time.
For example, many hospitals in New York, such as the Hopkins School of Medicine and Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, offer high salaries no less than Heinz General Hospital to attract these graduates. In particular, Columbia College, which is well aware of the strength of Heinz Medical School, even directly offered to serve as a professor at the college, just to poach one or two elites from John.
Unfortunately, everyone chose to stay.
John did not coerce or deliberately induce them to stay, in fact, if the hospital was well staffed, he would encourage these young people to go beyond their wings and spread the ideas of Heinz General Hospital and even medical school, as Hopkins students have done throughout history. But, as some wise men say, the more you know, the more you know your ignorance, and the students know very well that once they have laid a solid foundation, they must stay and learn how to practice them—things that cannot be learned anywhere else......
Three months later, the fifth class of freshmen at Heinz Medical School was enrolled.
The number of 50 new students is exactly ten times that of this year's graduates! The tuition fee of $100 per person per year is basically the same as other universities in the United States, but based on the experience of Heinz Medical School, the annual expenses of these students will be close to $500! In other words, for every new student admitted, the medical school has to pay $400 a year, and 50 people down is 20,000 yuan, if it is four years......
No matter how you calculate it, it's a lot of money!
Of course, now the medical school also has its own income, such as a negligible copyright income from textbooks, such as patent income such as electrocardiogram that has not yet been developed, and for example, the income from the antitoxin serum that was originally incorporated into the school by Ehrlich, but with the salaries of professors, research funds, etc., John now invests more than 100,000 dollars in the school every year!
This number is much less than that of children studying in the United States.
Yung Hong has returned to Shanghai in the East, and according to his agreement with John, 30 selected children will be sent to New York as soon as possible. John is also in full swing in New York: to build an elementary school for these young children to receive the first English and enlightenment education. First, because of John's sufficient investment, teachers, living conditions and other aspects are guaranteed, and secondly, it is also to give these children a time to adapt and avoid all kinds of difficulties encountered directly into American society.
For the sake of these young children in the United States, John has put a lot of thought into it.
For example, it is not so easy to prepare textbooks for these children. Fortunately, there were so many things in John's head that it was easy to make a whole set.
Of course, the most important thing is money!
It costs money to build schools, dormitories, canteens, etc., it costs money to hire people to teach these children, it costs money to introduce them to American society, and in John's planning, these children's annual academic expenses will even reach half of that of college students! If you add living expenses such as food, housing, and transportation, it is almost not far apart......

I didn't plan to be a eunuch, and I didn't deliberately pour water to drag the number of words. The new house has to be renovated, and it takes two or three months to toss, and I really don't have so much energy, and I am tired every day.
Next, let's fast-forward and take the new century in stride. (To be continued.) )
