Woman to Enroll As Student
Nurse Reserve VII
WAR is CREATING A DEMAND
Can Enlist at Denison at Mckim Hall

Hours of 3 and O'clock

The government is calling for 25,000
young women to join the United States
Student Nurse Reserve and hold them
selves in readiness to answer call
up to April 1, 1919.
The war is creating an unprecedent-
ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full training
course are eligible for service with our
forces overseas. These nurses are be-
ing drawn from the hospitals at home.
Their places must be filled by student
nurses for the full training course OF
from two to three years. Every young
woman who enrolls in the United
States Student Nurse Reserve is re-1
leasing nurse for service at the front
and swelling the home army which
we must rely on to act as our second
| line of hospital defense. Upons the
health of the American people will de-
lpend the spirit of their fighting forces.
Age: The call is for women between
the ages of nineteen and thirty-five.
! Qualifications: Intelligent, responsi-
| BILE women of education and sound
health. A college education is a val
liable asset and many hospitals give
advanced credit while others do not
even require full high school educa-
| ton
Enrolment: Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the United
States Student Nurse Reserve in any
one of three ways:
| l. AS engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April /, 1919, to ac-
| cept assignments to nurses training
school. These women will be sent to
| the schools as fast as vacancies occur.
| 2. AS desiring to become candidates
for the army nursing school recently
established by authority of the war
department, with branch schools in
selected military hospitals.
3. AS engaged to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1, 1919, to ac-
cept assignment in either 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. M, Il Isssg
Finances: The nurses training school
a. The student nurse in the nurses
training school gets her board, lodging
and tuition free at practically every
| training school, and in most cases re-
ceives 4 small remuneration to cover,
the cost of books and uniforms. AT
ter graduation she has an earning ca
pacity of from $100 to $500 a month
b. The army nursing school. The
student nurse in the army nursing
school will be provided with board,
lodging, laundry and the necessary
textbooks. No tuition fee is required
but students will be required to pro-
vide their own uniforms. The course
of training is three years with one
months vacation each year. The
hours of duty during the preliminary
term will not exceed six hours daily
and eight hours thereafter.
The student nurse enters a profess
sion in which she is not only learning
to serve but serving her country from
the outset. The government will rely
upon the student nurses to fight dis
ease at home, to care for those injured
and disabled in our hazardous war in-
dustries and to make themselves ready !
to serve when the time comes as fully
trained nurses, either abroad or at
home. fNs..t VIZ,
