ftMSB TWENTY THE NDARD, FREEPORT. ILL. THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, Has Many Nurses, But Far From Enough BY AttlENE WOtF AP Newsfeatures writer New York, Aug. of every three hospitals in the country have been hit by ft shortage of nurses. Many have been forced to leave beds empty, close down entire wings, and In some cases, shut operating rooms.

In New York city alone, 1,253 beds are empty because there aren't enough nurses to go around. Michigan could use another 4,000 women in white. The picture is pretty much like that over the country, with an estimated 485,000 nurses needed, and 300,000 available.

FREEPORT, ILLINOIS rather than ft sudden Atop in number of nurses tot duty that's to blame, says Mary M. Roberts, editor of the American Journal of Nursing. At the moment, Miss Roberts says, there are about 300,000 registered nurses available, less some 16,000 still in the services. Five years ago, the figure was 290,000 nurses. Compare those figures with the hospital's patient American Hospital association estimates an Increase of 220,544 patients admitted in 1945 over the 1944 It begins to be apparent why there aren't enough nurses.

Go To Hospital More Willingly Rising hospital lists do not mean that the national health is taking a turn for the worse, Miss Roberts explains. They mean Just that people are going to hospitals more willingly, and in greater numbers. On the nurses' side of the ledger, Miss Roberts explains that some 70,000 were originally In the services. Some of these have married, and arc temporarily or permanently retired, others arc taking advanced courses under the (3.1. bill of rights and are in school Instead of on duly.

Still others are taking a well-earned rest on their terminal leave paychecks. The American hospital assocU ation believes that part of the shortage is due to an Increased Interest In industrial nursing, and the number of nurses going into veterans' hospitals, school systems and the public health service. Whatever the reason, it's agreed that the only answer to the problem Is more nurses.
