N.. Execulive Secre- tary, Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners for Registration of Nur- ses, that Governor Martin recently signed two bills affecting the nurses of Pennavivania. One bill affects the students in the schools of nursing by lowering the age of the appli- canta for admission to State Board examination, from twenty-one to less than twenty-one, although no one under twenty will be eligible for admission to examination. ¥ The other bill affects the regis- tration of older nurses who are’grad- uates from approved schools for | nursing who for some reason have | bill failed to make application for reg- istration. With the passing of this nurses may become registered on the basis of the requirements for registration that existed at the time of the applicants’ graduation. The registration obtained will be perma- inent but the opportunity to obtain {it is open only for the duration of {the war and one year after the ces- | sation of hostilities. Both bills are effective only for the duration of | the war. “At the present time it is of ut- | most importance to use every avall- {able nurse on a full or part-time | basis. T believe there is a group of {nurses who will become registered {and avail themselves of the oppor- | tunity to assist in this present short- iage.
