- A presentation by the Nursing Council on National Defense containing two dramatizations and two calls for nurses to join the war effort after the American entrance to WWII as a four-part presentation. The first section is called “Public Health Nurse” which follows the events from the diary of Elizabeth Carter over her career of nursing, including such events as house calls, water contamination, and typhoid outbreaks. The second section is a message from Surgeon General Dr. Thomas Parran Jr., asking for 50,000 women to join the warfront as nurses. The third section of the recording is a presentation of “Night Nurse” which follow the events of a single shift for Nurse Mathison, a nurse who has joined the Red Cross and works in an American hospital. Her patients experience respiratory failure, trauma, and childbirth. The fourth section is a plea from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt for 50,000 nurses to join the warfront.
