The Hospitaller Brothers did most of the nursing and caring for the injured while the Hospitaller Sisters spent most of the time in prayer.

Remember this is for your own safety

52. Additional uniform

This could be when we are on duty outdoors or in crowded places.
We normally do this by wear high visibility clothing.
You should have a reflective badge on the front and back saying
Adults some times wear different badges to show their skills
