THE SHORTAGE OF NURSES. The, acting Inspector-General of Hospitals notified the Taranaki Hospital Board yesterday that in view of the difficulty experienced in the hospital training schools, outside the four centres, in obtaining a sufficient number of suitable probationers for training, he would be glad to hear if .the Board would be prepared to receive V.A.D.'s who had worked during the war, or after the war, in the wards of military hospitals for periods of two or three years, and were recommended for training With the concession of six months or one year off, the statutory, course of three years. It had been suggested to the department by the delegates of the Overseas' Settlement Mission now in Wellington", that the Selection Committee would send out to the Dominion during the next year specially selected young women for training on these conditions. If favorable, the Board was asked to fotimate how many probationers could be received during the year. The chairman said that as far as they were concerned there had been no difficulty in getting probationers; in fact, they had, if anything, too many. On his motion it was resolved to inform tinacting Inspector-General that the Board could not do anything in the matter.
