SHORTAGE OF NURSES
Staffing Small Hospitals
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Hamilton, July 8.
The shortage of trained nurses was referred to by Miss D. Menzies, lady superintendent of the Waikato Hospital, in her annual report- to the board to-day. Miss Menzies stated that during the year 78 nurses had begun training. All out-Stations had been visited and the work was found to be going on satisfactorily except at Rotorua, where it was very difficult to keep things as they should be owing to frequent changes of staff. The problem of .stalling small hospitals had been a great one, due. Miss Menzies thought, to a shortage of general trained nurses throughout New Zealand.
