500 Student State Nurses ToGroduute
 Acute Hospital
 Shortage Soon
 To Be AIlevioted

Very few of the 1929 Connecticut nurses now serving in the Army ol Navy Nurse corps are expected te return to their civilian jobs in hos. pitals for nearly a year, according to Mrs. Helen M. Cullen, executive secretary of the State Nurse Pro- curement and Assignment commit tee. Efforts are now being made to alleviate the nursepower shortage situation in hospitals throughout the state. she said.
 Mrs Cullen stated that question naireS have been sent to the 1090 nurses in the state who have been classified as available for some type of civilian nursing to obtain infor- nation as to their present status. As replies are received, the nurses are being reclasSified, depending on what they are doing at present, and the information is sent to the local procurement and assignment com- mittees.
 The local committees will ther contact the nurses, telling them what positions are available in com- mun1ty hospitals. Of the 404 nurses who have replied to date, 106 the now in essential nursing, 145 are in- active and not available for any type of nursing service because of physi- cal defects or home responsibilities and l30 are still doing private duty nursing which is not considered an essential nursing servlce.
 It is expected that the acute shortage of personnel in hospitals in the state will be alleviated some- by January 1 when approximately 800 student nurses will be have been graduated, the majority of whom have accepted positions on hospital stafts.
