M 2937 -2- Nurses arriving in New York after 5 P, M. or on Saturday af ternoon or Sunday should communicate with the Central Club. 132 East 45th Street, phong Murray Hall 8700, or with the Park Avenue Hotel, 32 Street and 4th Avenue, Murray Hill 3500, with whom arrangements have been made for your board. You will be well taken care of at either of these places until the office is opened. One nurse in sach group is selected by Miss Johnson as the head nurse and an until they arrive in Paris and report to the representative of the Nursing Ser- + vice, Miss Julia Stimson; at 4 Place de La Concorde, Paris, she acts as such. 'this nurse is also in charge of nurses' aids who may sail on the same ship. L Nurses assigned to service under the Red Cross over seas should understand 16 that we cannot promis@ a definite assignment to any nurse. They are selected for service with reference to their preparation, for special types of work and e are assigned by the representatives of the Nursing Service overseas accordingly, 5 although changing conditions may make this temporarily impossible. They are ex- pected, therefore; under such circumstances, to accept such assignment as may be given them, without question. Nurses serving in foreign countries under the Red Cross are under serious ethical obligations not chly to the nursing profession but to the Red Cross whom they represent. They should bear in mind that any slight act of indiscretion or thoughtlessnes on their part may lay the Red Cross Nursing Serviceand 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 upon life. We do not look upon your assignment to over- seas duty 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 go. We shall watch your work with great interest through the reports that are submitted 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, Director, Bureau of Field Nursing Service. N/A 3 5
