ARMY NURSING CORPS
PLENTY OF VOLUNTEERS
AUCKLAND’S BIG TOTAL
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day
Over 80 per cent of the sisters at the Auckland Hospital have volunteered to serve in the New Zealand Army Nursing Corps. The total in the Dominion probably amounts to many hundreds.
Three Auckland nurses have been at Hopuhopu military camp since October 4.
Miss Nutsey, lady superintendent of the Auckland Hospital, said to-day that those accepted would necessarily be between 25 and 40 years of age, and there would be a stringent medical examination. A special committee would decide what number should be accepted, so that there was small possibility of the public hospitals being short staffed.
