URGENT NEED OF
TRIED NURSED
IN ALLFIELDS
Iti*v. A (1. Shriver is in receipt
of a communication from Mrs Fran
cos 1’. Holton, chairman of the war
program committee, Washington. I).
('., in which a strong plea is made
for nurses and from which the tid
lowing excerpts are taken:
"The United States army and navy
1 have asked for 37,500 registered and
trained nurses by July 1, lhllt, for the
care of wounded and sick soldiers and
sailors.
"This will take one-half of the pres
ent skilled nursing forces of the
United State- The effect of this on
public health will be disastrous unless
most strenuous efforts are made to
supply the needs of the civil popu
lation with skilled workers.
"in normal times there are approx
imately 0,000 public health nurses
! scattered over the United States, car
ing for the families of the people,
who cannot afford the entire time
of a trained nurse. They go into
the homes, staying long enough with
the sick mother and ailing child to
give expert care, setting tilings right
for the day and carrying out the in
! structions of the physician. They do
more. They teach the family how not
to be sick. They instruct the mother
| how to care for the baby the twenty
I three hours when the nurse cannot be
| in the house.
r irsi, aim ilium niipuriaiii, pvpij
well educated young woman who Is
interested in dealing with many prob
lems in this field, is urged to enter
one of our training schools for nurses
where she will get a firm foundation
for future work while at the same
time immediately entering as a stu
dent nurse on the serious nursing
, work o£ the country.
"Secondly, private duty nurses, who,
on account of family ties or some
j other reason, cannot join the Keel
j Cross nursing service for military
duty, are urged to consider most ser
< iously the needs of home service in
the public health field. The call is
imperative.
“Third, the private patient is urged
] to utilize the visiting nurse service
! The visiting nurse is a highly skilled
| nurse who is especially trained Ic
supplement the care of the family or
• he trained attendant, teaching them
to care for the patient during thi
I time she herself is not there. By
using the visiting nurses, the patient
releases the private nurse for duty
where the value of her services can
he multiplied. The nurse can then
enter the teaching field, where she
trains others to be nurses, or the
public health field where instead ol
caring for one patient she cares for
many.
"In iddition. we must put our shoul
ders to the whe 1 and help the schools
for nurses already established and
give scholarships to help those nurses
who need financial assistance while
taking gra Inate work One thing is
certain—we must keep trained women
in the field for this great war serv
: ice.
"We feel tha lirough the medium
of your church can reach a grout
of earnest yout women, who can hi
reached in no other way, to when
this service will especially appeal
Your sanction will give encouragemeni
to those eager to enter the prot'es
j sion, and will do much towards niak
ing their parents give a glad conseu
! to their rendering such patriotic serv
