Banfield\nHome Nurning instructor for\nHawaii Chapter\nWe have been asked to supply a Public Health nurse who can\nserve as an instructor in Home Hursing in the Hawaii Chapter. She should\nbe an individual possessing outstanding personal qualifications as for as\ninitiative, originality, outgoing personality, and executive ability are\nconcerned. It is also important that she have had Public Hoalth preparation\ne\nand experience as well as experience in teaching. The responsibility of this\nindividual will be to assist in the development and expansion of the Home\nNursing program in Hawaii and to therofore, train instructors to teach Home\nNursing as well as to do some teaching of the course itaelf. Thore is a\ndirector of Home Nursing in the Chapter at present ao this individual\nwould not assumo the responsibility of the director. It is to be alearly\nunderstcod that she is not hired as such.\nThe Balary will be approximately $300 per month and it is\nassumed that transportation to and from Hawaii will be provided. It is\nexpected that the period of aervice will tuke about two years as it is hoped\nthat by that time the program will be woll along in all the islands with\nsufficient trained instructors to carry one\nI am wondering if you would contact two of the nurses whom you\ncontacted regarding the possibility of assignments for supervisors of staff\nwelfare overseas to see whether or not they might be interested and available\nfor such employment.\nOne of the nurses is Miss Grace Mario Lawronce, badge number 37,543,\nof 219 Commonw alth Avenue, Cheatnut Hill, 67, Hassachusette. Sho is now\nSupervisor of Public Hoalth Bursing in the Nowton Hoalth Department. I\nrealize that because of the position of responsibility which she holds it\nmight not be possible for her to be roleased promptly, but she must understand\nthat we are anxious to securo soncone for this position at the earliest\npossible moment.\nIt will be nocessury for the individual who goes out to take the\nteacherta troining ecurse in six lessons in Home Nursing which will be a\nmatter of about two weeks proparation at least in this before she\ncan go. Additional proparation may be necessary depending country upon the\nback-\nground of the individual. It occurred to me that Miss Lawrence night be\nespecially interested in the Hawaii position inasmach as she lived in\nHonolulu for a time. Furthermore, I imagine that ahe would be woll qualified\nfor the position although I have not reviewed hor references which are doubt-\nless in your files.\nAnother nurse whom we considered for ovorseas service is MrS.\n5\nMargaret Rose Strobel, badge number HD 6687, 133 Mein Street, Nethorafield,\nConnecticut. I reclise that her physical condition was one thing which kept\nor\nPurcamer meats has melannis outer C Johnson runn wond\nJ\n2\nNA returned Tald This stme me"
