PLAN Of CO-OPERATIVE NURSING The County Red Cross Chap ters in this state are being auth orized to expend funds for pub lic health nursing. If such be the desire of their executive committees and where there are whole time health departments it is highly desirable for the Red Cross chapter, if they have the funds in their treasury, to vote the expenditure of the bud get, which includes salary, car and upkeep of the car of a put lic health nurse. The chapters are instructed to appoint a Nurs ing Activities Committee and through this nursing committee to finance the county nurse, either wholly from chapter funds or from a budget coming partly from chapter funds, partly from county funds, private subscrip tion or anv other supplementary item they may secure. The nurse thus employed is to be detailed for work in the county under the direction of the County Health Officer and her work is to be in conjunction with the State Bu reau of Infant Hygiene. The work recommended by the State for the nurse to effect, where she is working under full time health department, in-! dudes intensive infant welfare work which consist of the re porting of pre-natal cases (to whome advisory letters and other literature wiil be sent) also group and individual instruction to pre-natal cases and instruction in baby feeding and care of the mother: classes for instruction of raid-wives, etc. The T. B. unit includes quite j an extensive plan of health edu-1 cational work which consists of the showing of T. B. films at schools and public geatherings, demonstrations in the homes of the care of T. B. patients, get ting in touch with every reported case of T. B. in the county, get ting up groups of suspected cases of T. B. and persons who have been in close contract with active T. B., etc. for examina tion by a specialist from the State Sanitorium. Her work! will co-operate with the County Medical Profession. The work also includes work m the Bureau of Physical Inspection of School Children and the tonsil and ade- I noid clinical work. j This co-operative plan makes a closer co-ordination of work and I workers and gives the Red Cross ! Chapter an opportunity to make ! . . . ..nlt.n Vifsfc inti Ki itl'nn i the general welfare of the coun ty in a most practical way i and admits of professional work being directed by a physician, viz, the Health Officer. The reports of the nurse's i work is made by her in duplicate j one copy of which is sent to the j County Nursing Activities : Committee, the other copy is i . . . sent, through the State Bureau of Infant Hygiene, to the Red Cross Divisional Headquarters at Atlanta.
