Excerpt from Manual for Public Health NursesWith the large increase in the number of public health nurses employed in New York State, there has developed a distinct need for a compilation of information regarding the work of the public health nurse in all its various phases to which the nurse can refer when any question arises as to the scope of her work, and her legal limitations. At the risk of being too voluminous it has been broadened to include various information, which, while perhaps outside the actual field of her activities, is nevertheless closely related to certain branches of her work and about which she should be well informed.In a field which is developing so rapidly, it is inevitable that some important features may have been overlooked or insufficiently discussed. Certain aspects already well covered in available printed from have been omitted. It is therefore earnestly hoped that those who use this book will feel free to indicate to this Department wherein it may fail in any way to meet their needs.Securing a NurseOne of two reasons usually influences a community to employ a public health nurse, first, the knowledge of the existence of a considerable amount of sickness and physical disability in the municipality for which no adequate remedial care is provided, or second, the belief that such a condition may exist of which the actual extent is unknown, with the conviction that if existing the situation should be corrected. A nurse is thus often employed to make a survey of health and sanitary conditions and report thereon to the agency employing her. As a result of such report a campaign may be organized to provide the machinery for the correction of the conditions. This may call for a consolidated health district, a hospital or free clinic of some sort, or for the permanent employment of a public health nurse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
