COMDR. ALBERTA BURK, NC, USN Chief, Nursing Service NURSI G SER ICE The Nursing Service makes an important contribution in the care of the patients. Nursing itself is multivalued. It deals with healing, pre- vention and rehabilitation for patients and families, yet it is seldom a solitary performance. The total plan for Nursing Service to the patients entails not only cooperation among the nursing personnel, but with every phase of hospital service and allied workers, as Well as community agencies. By working with all services, direct nursing care is performed with the patient and indirect nursing care is performed away from the patient but in his behalf-totaling comprehensive nursing care. Nursing is recognized in large dimensions, being one of the largest services in any hospital. ln administration it involves a variety of personnel including nonprofessional personnel needing the direction that will ultimately be car- ried on to the patient. Many factors and many changes call for continuous analysis and evaluation of Nursing Services in order to formulate and recommend policies and procedures for the improvement of patient care. In and for specific working situations Nursing Service provides personnel, professional and nonprofessional, with programs of preparation. Scheduled orientations, on-the-job training, continued education and management development contribute to the educational needs of a wide Variety of per- sonnel. The immediate consumers of the programs reap many benefits, but the ultimate beneficiaries are the patients who are served with increased confidence and performance. Nursing Service is not only performance in skills and technics. Nursing is care of people, understanding of people, in an operation which involves comfort, safety, therapeutic effectiveness, economy of materials, organization and adaptivity of planning. ,lust as the Nursing Service is concerned with actual patient care, it is concerned with the problems encountered. All nursing activities, administration, supervision, Ward manage- ment and education benefit by the studies and programs in research which Nursing Service carries out to formulate the basis for the best in patient care. Analysis of Nursing Service leads one to believe that this is not just one service but an interwoven complexity of services. Yet each part has a tie. And Nursing Service through its functions serves, That the Nursing Needs of 57 People May Be Met.
