This series contains information on the War Council's efforts to attract women to the nursing profession in order to alleviate the acute shortage exacerbated by World War II, and to assist in the recruitment of nurses into the armed services by keeping a roster of nursing personnel. Included are minutes, correspondence, memoranda, monthly reports, press releases, form letters, and publicity materials. Classification forms collected by the Procurement and Assignment Committee contain a wealth of demographic data.
This scrapbook, labelled "Sample newspaper clippings, September 1943 to April 1944," is comprised solely of clippings from New York State publications. It was collected by the Nursing Council to partially document the many activities with which it was involved. Each clipping has the name and date of the publication from which it originated. The scrapbook details student recruitment efforts, activities of local nursing councils, and nursing issues, including the nursing shortage and post-war planning for the nursing profession.
