ASK LEGISLATION !
TO FORCE NURSES

Claim They Should Be Com
PEELED to Take Cases If
They Haven't Good Reason
for Refusing.

Following the refusal of several
graduate nurses to go to homes, the
Shelby delegation to the next legis-
lature win be asked to get behind 2
bill making it compulsory for q
graduate nurse not engaged to accept
an assignment IL she has no good
reason for not doing So
The refusal of the nurses to go to
homes is due solely to their pref
erence to take hospital cases, ac-
cording to those behind the move
ment for new legislation, 1T mas
gotten so that the nurses will not
go to. a private home II they can
avoid 1T" said an .attache OF local
hospital. "They prefer to take nos
pital cases because it is. easier Work
and they have. the association OF the
other nurses.
Public Has Right.
However, I believe the public has
some rights in the case. To begin
with our local hospitals were found
ed and are maintained largely oy
contributions of the public. The
nurses are given their schooling free
by the hospitals Thus you will see
that the public really has financed
the training of the nurses but VIXEN
the individual becomes sick and does
not care to go to the hospital, he is
practically unable to get a nurse,
although he may have been instru-
mental in giving training to the very
nurses who refuse his case.
1--WE take the position that as long
as the state of Tennessee allows the
nurses to write C. NJ graduate
nurse, after their names, they are
under as much moral obligation TO
go to case as a doctor Is.
/ The compensation of local nurses
has been recently increased from 10
TO Sc a'day.
