Many Nurses Are Vitally Needed
For Battle Line And Home Front

Nurse recruitment is especiaIl,
fitting in May. birth month of Flor,
ence Nightingale, the first ant
greatest Of war nurses, who was
born l23 year ago. Now, during
World War II, nurses are needed
in greater quantities than ever be-
fore. both for the far flung battle
line and for the home defense OF
the people.
In this country about 10000
nurses have already offered their
services to the armed forces in
World War III and many are al
ready on duty overseas. 1t is esti-
mated that six nurses are needed
for every thousand fighting men,
and that now about 1900 more
nurses are going into the services
each month, either from hospitals,
or the private duty field.
Nurses are vital to the health of
civilians as well as soldiers and
must be available to prevent
needless suffering and loss of life
through epidemics, sabotage, cat
astrophes like, floods and fires, as
well as through possible enemy ae-
ton. These more spectacular
things are in addition to the ev-
eryday, but necessary. job of help
ing to keep people well.
Hospital schools of nursing re-
quire $4,000 students this year to
replace the nurses entering the
Army and, Navy and to- serve, the
general population for private and
hospital duty, as well as for pub
lie health nursing posts. Della
wares quota Of nurses for duty
with the armed forces is 12' a
month. ....
Girls Can Help Win War
High school boys face the like
lihoOd of being drafted into the
forces of their country. They
are learning to take for granted
that this service is expected OF
them. High school and college
girls could be just as useful in
assisting their native land If they
would become nurses. The need is
great, not only in the Army and
Navy, but on the home front as
we'll. Graduate registered nurses
the public health nursing
field help with the clinics which
teach mothers how to keep well
babies we'll, assist with physical
of school children,
make home nursing visits to as
sist mothers with the health prob
Iems of their young children, are
On duty at various types of health
clinics, give bedside nursing care
Milford chronicle., 1943-05-28

to people i'll In their homes where
no other agency provides this care
Delaware's two largest public
health nursing agencies, the Della
ware State Board of Health and the
Visiting Nurse Association OF Will
mington, have been able to main
tain their nursing stats quite well
SO far However, as the armed
forces recruit more nurses, the
number OF public health nurses
available for health services to the
community, becomes dangerously
low. If one out of every ten grad
yates from schools of nursing en-
tered public health nursing, 1t is
felt that the need in this field could
be met. IL
Wars are won on the home front
as well as the battle front. The
population must be kept healthy in
order to have both farms and in
dustry producing to fullest capac-
ity. Public health nurses battle
disease with weapons Of modern
medical, nursing. and nutrition
knowledge everyday, but the lines
need 20 be strengthened. More
nurses are needed. 1t is hoped that
many new recruits for the field of
nnring will come this spring from
Delaware's ehigh schools and col
leges. - "a. 81 @!
