ELIGIBILITY OF NURSES.
Corporation Counsel Refers Definition
of Service to the Board.

The question of the eligibility of persons
in army nursing or hospital work, outside of
the District, for registration trained
nurses in the District without taking an ex
animation under the new nurses registra-
ton law, which was referred to the cor
poration counsel for a decision, has proved
knotty problem. The question was
brought to the attention of the Commits
examining board of the District and in his
Counsel Thomas says that the inquiry Is
difficult to answer and that a too rigid con-
struction of the law might defeat its pur-
pose. If the letter of the law be observed
Section of this law provides that per-
sons having graduated as nurses before the
passage Of the law, and others who have
engaged In nursing In the District for five
years before the passage of the law, are
eligible to be registered without having to
tutes engaged In nursing for five years
is the question perplexing the nurses exam
ination board Corporation Counsel : omas
says this point should rest largely with
the discretion of the board. He said that
1t Is common with nurses to be sen, out of
the city with their charges, and this he
says. should not initiate against their
qualifications. What absences should be
d, .ucted from the five years mentioned in
to be determined by the board. he said
In other words. Mr.. Thomas attempts to
settle this question by saying that it is for
the nurses board to say what constitutes
bona fide compliance with the spirit Of
the act
