NURSE KEANE ENLISTS.
NURSE KEANE ENLISTS.
Ultima, 18th September.The decision of Nurse N. A. Keane, formerly proprietress of the local private hospital, to enlist for service abroad has given much pleasure to her many friends here. Nurse Keane is a clever and sympathetic nurse, and is particularly skilled in all classes of operation cases, she having had during her stay here many intricate cases pass through her hands under the care of Dr. Jas. Rowan, and never was a failure recorded against her. She has a remarkable fund of womanly sympathy, and those of our unfortunate soldiers who have the good fortune to be placed under her care will be certain of scientific and at the same time sympathetic attention. Nurse Keane is a sister of the well-known Bendigo solicitor, and is a native of Ballarat.
