leant must be sound in health,
educated, college education pre
, but not necessary.
The government is calling for 25,
~ young women to join the United
Student Nurse Reserve and
themselves in readiness to train
service as nurses.
' The war is creating an unprece
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for ser
; vice with our forces over the seas.
I These nurses are being drawn large
| ly from our hospitals at home. Their
‘‘• places must be filled by student
I nurses enrolled for the full training
‘ Course of from two to three years.
i: Every young woman who enrolls in
| the United States Student Nurse Re
i serve is releasing a nurse for service
fat the front and swelling the home
army which we must rely on to act
as our second line of hospital de
fense. Upon the health of the Amer
| ica^i people will depend the spirit of
t^eir fighting forces.
/ Women will be given an opportun
I Hy to enroll in the United States
Student Nurse Reserve in any one
of three ways:
p (1) As engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April 1, 1919,
to accept assignments to nurses’
K
1 ««*e
training schools.. These women will
be sent to the schools as fast as va
cancies occur. 'those of superior
qualifications will be given prefer
ence, and it is, of course, possible
that not everyone who enrolls will be
accepted.
(2) As desiring to become candi
dates for the Army Nursing School
recently established by authority of |
the War Department, with branch
schools in selected military hospitals.
(0) As engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April 1,
1919, to accept assignments to either i
a civilian training school or the army
nursing school. Those who so enroll
will be called where the first need
arises. The government hopes that a
majority of those who enroll will thus
put down their names for both.
There are 1,579 nurses’ training
schools in this country. Those who
enroll for these schools will be as
signed as vacancies occur.
The enrollment card will indicate
two classes of registrants—Preferred
and Deferred. The Preferred class
will be those who are ready to accept
assignment to whatever hospital the
government directs them, although
they may state what training school
they prefer to be sent to. Those who
i register in the Preferred class will be
assigned first, anl possible consider
ation will be given to this preference
as stated. The Deferred class is com
posed of those who limit their pledge
service—that is, who will not engage
to go to certain hospittals. This
class is intended largely for those
who, for family reasons, cannot ac
. . . »• <• l_•
cepx xraimng at a instance uum wjc»
homes. Those who register in the
! Deferred class will be assigned only
| after the Preferred class is exhaust
ed.
j The term of training varies from
two to three years, according to the
requirements of the particular school
| to which the student nurse may be
'■sent. No course takes less than two
years nor more than three.
| What the Training Course Prepares
iFor—At present every woman who
'completes satisfactorily her training
in any accredited school is eligible
for service as an Army nurse at the
front and stands a chance of being
assigned to duty abroad. At the
same time she will be qualified to
earn her living in one of the noblest
professions open to women. It should
be remembered, furthermore, that
her usefulness <vill begin not when
she graduates from the training
school but as soon as she enters it
Practical nursing work is a part oJ.
the work of every training sen
the student nurse is not only learning
to serve but serving her country from
the outset.
The student nurse gets her board,
lodging, and tuition free at practi
cally every training school, and in
most cases receives a small remuner
ation to cover the cost of books and
uniforms. After graduation she has
an earning capacity of from $100 to
$30o a month. Private-duty nurses
now receive an average of from $100
to $120 a month together with board
while on duty; institution nurses
from $50 to $250 a month together
with board, lodging and laundry; and
public-health nurses from $100 to
$250 a month without maintenance.
There is no danger of the earning ca
pacity of nurses being lowered after
the war ends on account of the great
number who will then be qualified
for the profession; the country will
need all the nurses that can be train
ed, not only during the war but after
It, especially for reconstruction work.
Even if the war ends within three
years, every student nurse will be
able to complete her training and
will be needed.
Further announcement will be
made soon by Mrs. C. M. Erwin,
chairman of the Jackson county com
mittee, National Council of Defense.
