Five Nisei girls are among the 150 student nurses at the 1,000 bed hospital. The hospital is located on hills overlooking the downtown business district of Kansas City, Missouri. The girls said they like the people on the hospital staff and everyone they met in Kansas City treated them as well as they would anyone else. Two Nisei cadet nurses are also training at St. Mary's Hospital, Kansas City, and one at Bethany Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Kansas City, Missouri.
