Nurses Ready

For Service

Of the 6500 licensed nurses in Ine diana who have registered with the U. S. Public Health Service for national defense co-operation, at least one thousand of those eligible are willing to serve either in the Army, or the Navy, according to the state survey managed by Miss Helen Teal which will close within the nex§ week or 10 days. To be eligible for Army or Navy service, a nurse must be more than 21 and under 40 and must be in good health Included in the thousand classified who are eligible and willing are 231 from Marion County, 67 from Lake County, 26 from Madison County, large groups from other counties and at leash one from each county in the State. Miss Teal anticipates a total of

7500 when all questionnaires are re= turned. In the group are many nurses not now employed who have | stated their willingness to accept work either on a full-time or parte time basis in their own communi= ties, either on a pay or volunteer basis. Survey officials have pointed out that this is not a request or an order for duty. However, in a na= tional emergency, such a survey will give quick information on lo« cation of reserve nurses, their availe ability for full-time or part-time duty and their special qualifica«= tions. For the first time in history, the nursing “manpower” of the naw tion will be known.
