Nurses serving in foreign countries under the Red\nCross are under serious ethical obligations not only to nursing pro-\nfession but to the Red Cross whom they represent. They should bear\nin mind that any slight act of indiscretion or thoughtlessness on their\npart may lay the Red Cross Nursing Service and the Nursing porfecsion\nor America open to serious criticism.. Conditions under which they may be\nworking may call for a complete readjustment of their methods of living and\nworking, and their outlook upon life. We do not look upon your assign-\nmult to foreign duty as a sacrifice but as a glorious privilega and an\nopportunity to carry the spirit of nursing and the apirit of the Red\nCross wherever you amy go.\nWe shellwatch your work with great interest\nthrough the reportd that are submitted to us through the representative\nof the Nursing Service in the country where you may be serving.\nWe are always glad to hear from you at any\ntime and we stand to assist you should the nead of such assist rea arise.\nYourcarry with you our best wishes for your success.
