Nurses demanded respect when they wore those white dresses, white shoes, white stockings, and a perky little white cap on their heads.
Look at these nurses at Hawkins Hospital/Clinic in Searcy Arkansas. I just wrote a blog about the Hawkins Clinic and these pictures were sent to me to further illustrate the clinic.
My friend Anita sent them. She says this first one was taken at the emergency entrance to the hospital. She may have sent them to also show off how cool she looked with her convertible that was as long as the street! Kids of today would have called her a "hottie" with that car! Looks as if some envious soul is looking out through the window of the back door.
Here she is again with a friend who is also a friend of mine. Betty Robbins still lives in Searcy and is still lovely. They are now at the front of the hospital. Wonder where the handicapped entrance was?
And now Betty is shown with the supervisor (superintendent of nurses) Mrs. Maureen Twyford. They were all employees of the Hospital and these photos were taken probably in the 50's. They are beside the sign which was at the corner of Grand and East Market Streets. Parking lots now occupy all the corners at these streets.
