    "ocrText": "a\nFebruary 11, 1943\nMiss Lillian Viola Latus\nYonkers General Hospital\nYonkers, N. Y.\nMy dear Miss Latus:\nThank you for submitting your physical report. There is nothing\nin this report to indicate that you might not be eligible for the Hawaiian\nNursing Service. However, before the final decision can be made, it will\nbe necessary for us to plan for you to have a complete physical by a\nphysician who is selected by our Red Cross Medical Advisor.\nHowever, before completing any more credentials, I thought it\nwould be well to discuss over the type of position for which you would be\nconsidered in Hawaii. You have definitely asked to be placed in charge of\nan obstetrical unit. This we will not be able to do as we have already\ncompleted the appointments for the day supervisors.\nThe skeleton staff which we use, however, vary a little bit from\nthe staff of a general hospital here, in that they consist of a chief nurse,\nher assistants and the staff nurses. The only supervisory position which\nwe have open at the present is the night supervisor.\ne\nIf you wish to bè considered for this position, we will proceed\nto complete your credentials. This pays $150.00 per month with full main-\ntenance. Of course, you could accept an appointment for general staff\nnurse with a request to be considered for a supervisory position whenever\nthere might be an opening there. There is an over-all supervisor in charge\nof all the units, Miss Marjorie MacLachlan, and it is her privilege to\nchange nurses from one assignment to another as vacancies may occur. Tie\nprovide her with the professional experience record of every nurse, and she\nis, of course, glad to take any special request into consideration.\nMay we hear from you at your earliest convenience.\nVery truly yours,\n(Mrs.) Ernestine B. Amick\nAssistant to Director\nEBA:SJ\nNursing Service\n:"
