Historical information

Mother Rectress testifies in 1918, that Ethel Charles possesses a thorough knowledge of medical, surgical and ophthalmic nursing and has had considerable experience in the operating theatres. Tact, gentle firmness, kindness and consideration, and a high sense of honour are "marked characteristics". Furthermore, she would credit her training school (St Vincents Hospital Melbourne) and fulfill a position on the nursing staff in any hospital.
