    "ocrText": "OFFICE OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE\nfortoons\nLihue, Kauai, Hawaii\nApril 11, 1943\nTo:\nHospital Consultant and Supervisor\nFrom:\nChief Nurse of Huleia Hospital Unit\nSubject:\nRelease of Miss Wright and Miss Noonan\nMy dear Miss MacLachlan:\nHerewith I am returning the Credentials of the nurses\nwho have left the Huleia Unit. I had already mailed you on\nMarch 25th their efficiency records, which included most of\nthe information you have since asked for. However, I shall\nrewrite them according to your form as soon as possible.\nMeanwhile I have been concerned over some problems with which\nI shall now acquaint you. There are two of the Huleia Unit\nnurses who both Miss Wilcox and I believe ought to be re-\nturned to the Mainland.\nMiss Elizabeth Wright has never been satisfactory since\nher arrival here. She was first at Wilcox Hospital where\nshe did poor work and had personality difficulties, so she\nwas transferred to Waimea Hospital. There she was very un-\nreliable and made an even poorer personal adjustment. I\ntransferred her back to Wilcox - at her own request. She\nhas been an unsatisfactory member of their staff for three\nreasons:\n1.\nIndependability -- coming on duty late, disappearing\nfrom wards, arranging social affairs while on duty,\nand misconstructing orders. The latest and most\nserious evidence of this occurred on April 8th.\nIn\nthe Wilcox nursery was an illegitimate baby - six\ndays old whose adoption had been arranged. Therefore,\ndefinite orders had been left that the infant was\nnever to be taken out to the mother. This plan had\nbeen discussed with all the nurses, and the bassinet\ndisplayed a large sign to this effect. Miss Wright\n\"unthinkingly\" took the infant out. She does not\nseem to consider the offense serious.\nCOPY"
