One of the chief duties of the superintendent is to train new nurses, and she should renew the personnel of her staff whenever the welfare of the work demands a change. Sometimes, when a nurse shows flagging energy and interest, sufficient stimulus may be given by removing her to another district, where she will encounter new patients and new problems, and so regain her old keenness and ability. When one once becomes thoroughly tired of this work, however, it is unwise and futile to attempt to continue it. Therefore, in the interest both of the nurse and of her work, it does not seem wise to offer inducements for prolonged service, unless the individual characteristics of any given nurse make this wholly desirable. =Carfare.= In addition to salary, a reasonable sum of money should be allowed for carfare. This allowance should vary in accordance with the territory to be covered, those nurses who visit in smaller areas naturally having a smaller allowance for the purpose. While economy in this matter is always necessary, it must be remembered that undue economy in carfare is wasteful of something still more important,—the nurse’s time and strength. If she is obliged to walk long distances between cases, this will greatly reduce the number of visits she can make in a day. Moreover, she will spend so much energy in mere walking that she will become too tired for effective teaching. Only fresh, energetic people can teach; those who are physically tired are apt unconsciously to let the obstinate patient have his own way. =Transportation.= In small towns and country districts the problem of transportation is often a difficult one. There are either no street cars, or their service is very restricted and inadequate. Under such circumstances it will be necessary to provide the nurse with a horse and runabout, especially if she is expected to cover a large territory. Unless there is proper provision for transportation, it will be impossible for her to visit the patients often enough to make any impression,—her teaching will be laid on too thin to have much value. And to depend upon haphazard, volunteer offers of transportation is almost as bad as to expect her to make her rounds on foot. She should be given proper facilities for going from case to case, and should be able to plan a day’s work unhampered by any considerations as to if or how she can reach her patients. =Telephone.= In making up the budget of necessary expenses, a reasonable sum should be set aside for telephone calls. The nurse has constant occasion to communicate with doctors, institutions, social workers, and so forth, and this item of expense should not come out of her own pocket. A careful weekly account of all expenditures, including telephone calls and carfare should be rendered by her.
