NEED OF NURSES OUTLINES WAR MEDICAL CALLS
An urgent appeal calls for trained nurses for overseas service with diplomas from regular schools. About 26,000 nurses needed for the army this year, plus home nursing expansion through Red Cross courses. Of 65,000 U S registered nurses, roughly 32,000 could join military service, requiring more graduates yearly to replace those entering service. The article traces nursing history from Nightingale to modern wartime needs and urges sustained home nursing training to free hospital staff. It notes current nurse mobilization and the constant need for more entrants to meet demand.
