PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS
NURSES BUREAU
A New Organization That Promptly Supplies
the Doctors With Nurses and Secures Con-
slant Employment for Competent Nurses.

to the National Association Of Graduate
Nurses. The national society met in
Buffalo during the Pan-American expo
sit ion, and nurses from Europe, Asia and
Africa, as we'll as North and South Amer
lea. were present. The Minneapolis So
ciety was formed too late to send dele
gates, but it will be represented at the
next convention.
The nurses meet one afternoon each
month in the pleasant rooms of the Hem
nepin County Medical society, in the An
drus building. In corner of the top
floor, it escapes all noise and hustle, and
the pretty furnishings with soft color
ings green walls, chairs and tables OF
Flemish oak, are very restful. Oriental
rugs on the floor give the needed bright :
ness. The we'll filled book cases, which
run up the walls, and the tables Uttered
with medical periodicals, prove that the
room is for use, and there are few hours
in the day that it is vacant.
Talks and lectures are given there by
the different physicians and surgeons,
with the idea of supplementing the train
ing received in the hospital. The nurses
attend these lectures or not, as they
choose, but the talks are made very at
tractive, and, unless" the eXigencies of
cases demand, the nurses are seldom alb
sent.
The bureau was organized to bring the
tons. BY means of it the doctors have
no difficulty in obtaining nurses, and the
latter are kept busy. It is not often that
more than half a dozen of them are in
from cases at once, for there has been
much illness in Minneapolis the past year.
All the members but two are women.
More demands are made for the men
nurses than can be filled. One of them is
a graduate nurses, and the other has had
hospital training, but never received his
diploma.
The officers of the Graduate Nrses' as
ISOLATION are as follows: President, Miss
Marie Heilemann; vice president, Mrs.
Charlotte Roberts; secretary, Miss Flora
Thompson; treasurer, Miss Cornella Cole
