In order to cope with the prevalent maladies of the summer months the Public Nursing association is organiz ing a number of units composed of graduate nurses to work in homes where competent nursing care could not other wise be procured. The association either renders free service or, if the family can afford It, charges a nominal fee. At the present time the staff Is com posed of eighteen trained graduate nurses. Mis.s Mary Crist is acting superin tendent of the organization. The nurses are assigned to their work every morning. Hourly nursing, which was abandoned during the month of May on account of an insufficient staff, has been resumed this month, since the staff has been re cruited to Its full strength. "Wo hope this fall," said Miss Ethel B. Clark, superintendent of the Nurses’ Training School at the Robert W. Long hospital, and director in the Public Health Nursing association, "to have a very large staff of nurses. “There Is room In the public nursing staff for several more efficient nurses. “Young women who have worked with the association have found the expe rience most valuable. “We are hoping to obtain for our or ganization some of the fine material re cently graduated from the various train schools of Indianapolis.” In order to have a good supply of surgical dressings and sick room sup plies, such as are needed In nursing, a sewing department has been opened in room 27, Baldwin block, under the direc tion of Mrs. C. F. Neu. The work is similar to that of the Red Cross and Mrs. Neu urges women to spend any time they can spare helping the association.
