INFLUENZA OUTBREAK.
DEMAND FOR NURSES. A DIMINUTION NOTED. A slackening off in the demand fa nurses to look after influenza cases ha» been noted in the past two days at the Trained Nurses' Club, which is the central bureau for the engagement of nurses in Auckland. Otherwise the outbreak offered no new features yesterday. Since the beginning of the month there have been many calls for trained nurses, some to severe or complicated cases o{ influenza, but many more to care for households that had been disorganised by several cases occurring in them about the same time. The demand was sufficienf to absorb the whole waiting list of the club, which previously had been a long one, owing to a general lack of employment. Yesterday the matron inserted an advertisement in the Herald, asking all unemployed nurses and other -women with some experience to communicate with the club. A satisfactory number responded. The matron' stated later that in the past two days there had been fewer calls for nurses, but she had taken action in order to gather names of those who would be available if need arose.
