At the recent General Conference our medical council voted for the establishment of nurses’ agencies in the various union and local conferences. This will tend to unite more closely the interests of conferences, and the health workers in their territory.
Urgent calls for capable nurses are coming from localities that can not properly be asked to wait for the perfecting of the union conference directories. Dr. Hayward is the latest one to report a call for a male nurse and his wife for an enterprise recently opened auspiciously in the territory under the supervision of the department of which he is the medical chairman.
We have reason to believe that throughout our ranks there are many well-trained and experienced nurses whose services will yield a much more satisfactory total influence if connected with the organized work than if irregularly employed on their personal responsibility. A committee is now at work studying the conditions for perfecting this plan.
Meanwhile this office is asked to facilitate the work by bringing into touch available nurses and institutions in need of help. We therefore will gladly receive the addresses of all nurses desiring employment in medical missionary lines. Be sure to send statement (1) of experience and where it was obtained; (2) references as to character and ability; (3) sex, married or single; (4) family or not; (5) age; (6) health, and any special conditions necessary to consider in entering active medical missionary work.
