NURSING CAREER
SUGGESTED FOR VOLUNTARY AIDS
One way in which the number of recruits for the nursing profession may be increased lias been pointed out by Miss E. P. Tcnncnt, former commander-in-chief of the Voluntary Aid Detachments of the Red Cross Society, in a letter in the latest issue of the New Zealand Nursing Journal. The idea is that from the number of 3*oung women undertaing voluntary aid training some might possibly be recruited if hospitals presented nursing as a profession to them.
Training schools had not before hatl such a golden opportunity for recruiting candidates as tlicy had in tlie last two and a hall' years, said the writer. Larg.e numbers of young women-, by their desire to undertake voluntary aid work, had shown that nursing duties attracted them more than any other type of voluntary service. These voluntary aids had gone to considerable expense in equipping themselves with uniform and text books.
