Synopsis

Excerpt from Industrial Nursing: For Industrial, Public Health, and Pupil Nurses, and for Employers of Labor

To the preparation of this manual many industrial nurses have given freely from their experience and thought.

It is recognized that each plant and each industry is a separate problem requiring an elastic and flexible nursing service. It is not too much to expect, however, that there will be ultimate standardization of certain necessary methods, records, equipment, restrictions, etc. Which will mean greater efficiency and safety.

Any standards worked out at the present time (1919) will doubtless require modification in the days to come in order to meet future industrial and social developments.

The writer hopes to present to pupil nurses, and to others who wish to take up industrial nursing, an idea of the condi tions under which they may have to work and to emphasize the need of as thorough a training as possible. To those who, because the need is urgent must enter the field with little more preparation than a hospital training, this volume may serve as a guide to careful self-preparation while engaged in the work. It may also give to some employer, who still doubts the value of the trained nurse in industry, an idea of what the nurse can do for his organization, employés and community.

Because the work of the industrial nurse is so varied, be cause she is working in so many different industries, and because in no two places are her duties and responsibilities the same, it is very difficult to write about her work in a general way. Nurses are successfully employed in most large and in many small industries; in mills, factories, hotels, department stores, laundries and tanneries, in mining villages and other industrial communities, by insurance companies, banks and trust companies.
