Nurses Are Needed

Elsewhere in our columns this
week appears an advertisement from
Delaware State Hospital, Farnhurst,
Delaware, for nurses.
Because $1,000 nurses are needed
to fill existing vacancies in civilian
nursing on the home front, and give
our soldiers, sailors and marines the
proper nursing care, the American
Legion Auxiliary has Joined in the
campaign to recruit students and
encourage the retired, inactive nurse
to return to duty.
Nureses are needed quickly to
meet this crisis. The Government has
estimated $4,000 new students must
enter schools of nursing this year.
There will be a tremendous need
for nurses during the postwar years,
due to the fact that we must go on
repairing the devastation OF war long
after the guns have ceased firing.
The Army and Navy Corps are
asking for IL graduate nurses each
month from Delaware, and continu-
ally increases it's demand. The Red
Cross report shows that Delaware
has higher percentage of it's quota
than any other state in the United
States. In order to comply with this
order, more graduate nurses mus
be released from their present po-
sitions.
In order to meet this demand an
immediate, intensive recruitment OF
large classes of students is necessary
The Delaware State Hospital, al
Farnhurst, has as it's aim fall class
twice as large as in previous years
