Scott is Senior Nurse at the Naval
Station Hospital.
Comdr. Scott gave a history of
the corps and outlined its func
tions. Its early beginning in 1811
by William Paul Barton lead up
to a strong force in the Navy’s op
erations, with the nurses playing
a big part in the wars that follow
ed. Navy nurses are in all parts of
the world, she emphasized. Though
the Army nurses are credited with
much heroism, which is readily
theirs, she pointed out, the Navy
nurses in many cases landed along
with the Marines on the battle
lines, and performed acts of hero
ism that were outstanding. Along
with that, they served on Navy
ships that were in the thick of
many of the sea battles of the war.
They aided in the caring for the
wounded in battle, whose lives
were saved by the prompt medical
attention they received in being
airlifted to hospital centers.
Navy nurses, she said, are in all
parts of the world. Many of them
were captured in the Philippines
and Guam—and during their in
ternment aided the sick.
The Navy nurses job has been
primarily to train corpsmen in
the Navy hospitals to do the job.
They have also been instrumental
in training native women to care
for the sick in various parts of the
world. They have been called upon
to assist in emergencies. In an

ers, Comdr. Scott gave a resume
