MANY nurses Sare delaying their
enrolment upon advise from physi-
clans or patients with arguments put
forth that their services are more
needed at bome.' The nurse whose
responsibilities are always grave,
whose duties, involving life and
death, many times absorb her time
and attention to the exclusion or
every other interest, may be slow to
realize that she can conscientiously
leave these duties and may question
ii it is possible that she may be
MORE needed elsewhere!
"rhe wounded soldiers must have
first consideration and is entitled to
the best professional care we have
to offer. Let our American civilians
realize this and instead of creating
difficulties for the nurse, aid her in
every possible way to give this ser
vice without too great sacrifice.
"A special form Of enrolment for
home defense nursing makes 1t pos
sible for nurses who are situated so
as to be unable to perform military
service to become enrolled for home
service. The home defense nurse
may act as an hourly nurse making
visits, giving treatment prescribed
by the physician and leave the rou
tine bedside care to the aid who has
had the practical training Instituted

Quoted by the different chapters. The
civilian population will be cared for,
but they are asked to deny them
selves the luxury of nurse where
the conditions are not extremely ur-
gent.
"On the face of these several facts
the outstanding features are appar-
ent namely, that every nurse eligible
FOR military service must serve in
that capacity and every graduate
nurse who must be denied the privi'
lcge of this service can give equal
patriotic service by keeping the home
lines unbroken and that every one
of these trained workers must pre-
pare herself for service NOW If her
country is to be saved"
