Nurses Tassigned to service under the Red Cross over seas should understand
that we-cannot promisé a definite assignment to any nurse. They are selected
for service-with reference to their preparation for special types of work and
are assigned by the representatives of the Nursing Service overseas accordingly,
although changing condition may make this temporarily impossible. They are ex-
pected, therefore, under such circumstances, to accept such assignment as may be
given them, vithout question.
Nurses serving in foreign countries under the Red Cross are under serious
ethical obligations not only to the nursing profession but to the Red Cross whom
they represent. They should bear in mind that any slight act of indiscretion or
thoughtlessness on their part may lay the Red Cross Nursing Service: and the nurs-
ing profession of America open to serious criticism. Conditions under which they
may be working may call for a complete readjustment of their method of living and
working and their outlook uron life; We do not look upon your assignment to over-
seas dut'y as- a sacrifice but as a glorious privilege and an opportunity to carry
the spirit of nursing and the spirit of the Red Cross wherever you may g
We shall watch your work with great interest through the reports that are
sübmitted to us by the representative of the Nursing Service in the country where
you may be serving,

We are always glad to hear from you at any time and we stand ready to assist
you should the need of such assistance arise, You carry with you our best wishes
for your success. Believe me as,
Very truly yours,
