INFLUENZA AMONG NURSES
# SIXTY-TWO AFFECTED AT AUCKLAND ADMISSIONS TO HOSPITAL RESTRICTED ! !***•• IaaOCIATIOM TtLBOKAIt.) AUCKLAND, May 8. With 62 members of the nursing staff suffering from influenza, it has been found necessary to restrict admissions to the Auckland Hospital to cases of an acute and urgent type. This decision was made to-day, and the medical superintendent. Dr. J. W. Craven, said that bookings made for admission had been stood over, except where immediate treatment was necessary. The absence of 62 nurses has made the staffing of the hospital extremely difficult, as well as presenting a problem in itself. Several of the nurses who have been affected by illness have been transferred to wards. Others are being nursed in their own homes, and the remainder are confined to their beds in the nurses’ home.
