While one of the most important duties
of the Red Cross is to maintain at all,
times an adequate enrolment of nurses
for service in the event of war, the rapid
development of various peace activities
under the nursing service has made 1.
desirable to enroll nurses with special
qualifications who might not be available
for war duty
Certain exceptions to the usual require
ments for enrolment will therefore be
made as in the case of nurses selected
for committee work, those willing to act
as instructors and examiners of Red
Cross classes and candidates for public
health nursing under the town and coun-
try nursing service.
The minimum requirements for enroll
ment except when otherwise indicated are
as follows:
I. Nursing Educ alton:
To be eligible for enrolment, an appli-
cant must be a graduate of a school for
nurses giving at least a two years course
of training in a general hospital which
includes the care of men and has daily
average of at least so patients during the
applicants training. Graduates of hos
pildiS LOT the insane are not eligible LOT
enrolment unless their experience in
cludes at least nine months training in a
general hospital. either during their
course of training or subsequent thereto.
Upon recommendation of the local COM
mittee, subsequent hospital experience or
postgraduate training which supplies de-
f1ciences of training, may be accepted as
an equivalent by the national committee.
2. Registrations:
In states where registration is provided
for by law, an applicant, to be eligible
for enrolment, must be registered.
3. Age Limits:
Applicants must be at least . and not
over 40 years of age. Exceptions to this
requirement may be made by the national
committee for those enrolling for public
health nursing and other special services
under the Red Cross.
