Abstract

nursing has been higher than in the social work field, probably because it is more nearly standardized. In the past year the number of available positions in public health nursing declined 15 per cent. The decline was most noticeable in beginning staff positions and in executive positions. Most of the positions filled were in the area around New York City, but the agency has also been reaching out through the country. The number of positions reported from the Mid-west and West have increased considerably. J. V. S. has filled public health nursing positions at salaries ranging up to $5,000 but the largest number of positions without maintenance offered about $1,800; with maintenance about $1,200. Comparatively few positions without maintenance have offered $2,600 or over; few with maintenance have been available at $2,000 or over. -Report of Progress, Joint Vocational Service, for year 1929-1930, pp. 1-4. Something New in School Nursing-School nurses in New York State are now called school nurse-teachers. They are certified by the teacher training division of the State Educational Department and must have the following qualifications: 1. Graduation from an approved four year high school course or its equivalent 2. Graduation from a nursing school
