2 The Visiting Nurse Association Student Program N MAY, 1911, Miss Bishop, Superintendent of The Miami Valley Hospital Schooliof Nursing, arranged with the Board of Directors of the Flower and Fruit Mission, the organzation from which the present Visiting Nurse Association developed, to send student nurses to the Mission for a course in visiting nursing. They were Sent one at a time for a period of from three to six weeks. The contact proved valuable to the organization as well as to the student, and has continued with very few interruptions. Student afiiliation with a public health nursing agency is not designed as a specific preparation for public health nursing. It is intended rather to round out the student's nursing experience by having her meet some of the more common situations found in family health work, and by giving her practice in dealing with these situations. At present, the student program of The Visiting Nurse Association is open to groups of nine third year student nurses from the three local hospitals for a period of six weeks. Four students in each group are from The Miami Valley Hospital. The program is under the supervision of the educational director and consists of twenty-three hours of class work, and nursing in the homes. The greater part of the studentis supervision in the field is the responsibility of the staff nurse to whom she is assigned. judging from reports which the students submit at the end of the six weeks experience, they find it both interesting and valuable, while we of The Visiting Nurse Association find it stimulating to work with the students, and are anxious to give each as much theory and practice in public health nursing as is possible in a six weeks course.

American Red Cross Nursing-the Answer to Todays Challenge THE AMERICAN RED CROSS NURSING SERVICE in keeping with its traditions and ideals of neutrality and humanity today challenges the nurses of our nation. Five thousand live hundred Red Cross nurses are needed immediately to render expert nursing care to the millions of young men who are being prepared to defend our democracy. Today when all our national defenses are being perfected, we must make every effort to strengthen our first line of defense-the health of our armed forces and our nation. This service is the direct responsibility of the nurses of America. The American Red Cross Nursing Service is the reserve for the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. Annie W. Goodrich expressed the sentiment of every Red Cross Nurse when she said, Speaking of war, since we pacifists can not prevent the catastrophe, we as patriots must do what we can to mitigate its horrors. Our pledge as nurses has conferred upon us certain obligations 'and duties primary of which is alleviation of suffering. Service is given not only because of duty or obligation but because of some deep seated, compelling motive in the heart of every true nurse. With the oath of allegiance ending in the solemn words 'ESO Help Me God , American nurses will respond to today's challenge by enrolling in the Red Cross Nursing Service, remembering again their Nightingale pledge, to forget self and render service to humanity. They will thus symbolize the spirit of Red Cross Nursing, Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon day.
