It is not possible or necessary for every nurse in the community to have |a postgraduate ‘course in this i field of nursing. However, every {community should have at least hospital and one public ,health nurse ‘with’ preparation leadership in teaching other nurses. Hospital head nurses and supervisors are best prepared for this service if they have com- pleted a university program of in orthopedic nursing {cal practice in the care of large | numbers of poliomyelitis patients in all stages of the disease. “Key West recently had a short course for volunteers. | Again we offer a quotation from | the same source: | “Preparation for professional nurse; in care of poliomyelitis patients should. of course, al- ways precede the training of volunteers in any community.” “This is obvious and the only thing that was lacking in our community was a_ professional nurse for polio cases. We should have permanently a professional nurse trained in the case of po- lio, and who will be able to teach and to take charge in any future emergency.” Warren also revealed that the Polio Foundation has reemploy- ed Mrs. E. G. Olgerd, physiothe- i rapist, formerly with the Hospit- ‘al for Special Surgery, New York {for 15 years. “In the meantime, we were jlucky to be able to secure the services of a former nurse and 4 very busy mother herself, Mrs. 'Kay Anderson, who took over the polio case at County Hospital Jund thus relieved juaid Ware ; “We hope Key West may soon | have a trained nurse, and seyeral experienced yolunteers,” Dr, William J, Peeples, J ‘Grange, Georgia, who was re cently appointed director of the | Monroe County Health Clinic, is | expected to arrive here May 3 or 4, Warren said.
