The Need ?' the Industrial Nurse.
gtf^hy is it necessary- to discuss such'
Mrell-established fact as the "Need
of-the Industrial Nurse?" Coming
from a mill village which had no
uurse previously, and having seen the
need fulfilled, though on a small scale
j^mpared with other larger factories
'in the south; and, knowing that
there are other mills in South Caro-'
Una and other states not so equipped,1
and even nurses in other lines of|
.^vrork who do not know what the work
^65 the idustrlal nurse is, or how or'
Jrrhy it is done, I believe that an ar-1
ylcle on the subject may prove worth
while.
It is my intention to take this need
up from three points of view: First,
that of the employers; second, that(
of the employees; third, that of thej
nurse.
During one of my interviews at the'
manager's office I asked him whyj
they employed a nurse and alsp their j
reason for equipping a clinic. This'
was his reply: "Among the most im- j
portant and most evident marks of1
progress and efficiency in the cotton
Sufacturing industry has been the
>8t universal practise of installing
ell-equipped clinic and first Aid
place. One of the reasons why the
clinic and First Aid place has become
a necessity to our mill is that it is
the sincere desire of the managers
that the employees may know that
4re have their interest at heart, and
our nurse and clinic is one of the
visible evidences that this is so. We'
believe they are entitled to the best J
attention in case of illness or injury
that we can give them. We also be-'
lieve the moral effect is good; that!
they will be better satisfied, and wil1;
lessen their desire to move from vll-j
lag to village." ' i .
"The. second reason why we believe
our First Aid place and clinic is vital
to our organization is that we some-'
, times have serious accidents involv-|
ing a finger or a hand, and at such
itimes, while awaiting the arirval of a'
surgeon, we are able to gi^ the patient
skilled attention, wh other
wise would, be impossible.
"The third reason why we believe;
our First Aid place and Clinics are vi- '
tal to our organization is because it is'
a profitable investment. We as em-|i
ployers are responsible for the health j
and welfare of our employees to a (
greater ?stent each year, and the care j
ful attention given by the nurse to i
small injuries, such as cuts, bruises, ;
and scratches, as well as many cases ,
of temporary illnes, and which, if
neglected might develop into serious
cases of infection or other serious illness,
with a necessary loss of much
the employees' time which would ]
^^an a greater loss to our organiza- i
tion." (
Now this shows the cooperation of
the firm. Let us take up the other '
views. The industrial nurse is, I '
believe, a burden lifter. She spans j<
the gap which grows unconsciously
Wider between the employer and em- 1
|Vpk>yee. She enables him to carry out <
Hwhat has been in his heart to do all
Wthe time?if he is a warm hearted
man who values life above the dol- .
lars, which, fortunately, many of
them do. But if he be of that type,
his duties are so arduous that h^ has <
not the time to do what his heart
prompts him. so the nurse is a messenger
of his good will to the men t
and women employed. In minister- j
lng to their needs she is the lnterpre- ,
ter of his thoughts and feelings. ;
From the employees' viewpoint, let
us take the superintendent's view. To i
them she should be a blessing and not i
v a menace. She must make them feel <
her cooperation and thus win their j
confidence by attending to the acci- i
dent promptly and efficiently; getting i
xthe men back to tht>^ work as soon '
as possible. In < ach case, to recog- i
nixe the foreman's often difficult task <
of keeping his department up to its I
highest efficiency. What shall we
jpy of the hundreds of men and wo- i
jdfnen just next to the foreman, as emPl>loyees?
What view do they take?
I know their view changes, it takes 1
time to establish confidence, but when |
they realize that the corporation fori1
which they labor and whom they of-1
ten thought of as heartless and ex- j
ceedingly wealthy, *rhose manager,;
superintendents, and visiting offcials,
were always well-dressed, and whom. '
they never saw actually labor (remember,
we give all credit to the intensive
work that it takes from managers
and superintendents to engineer
the work of a plant and to bear
the responsibility?and it surely does
take gray matter), but when these
employees find that a well-equipped
First Aid place has been established, i
a nurse's kindly interest, skill and
sympathy free for them, it is almost
more than they can realize.
They gladly come, and politeness
and gratitude shown for the tiniest |
care is so great that no nurse, if she j
truly loves human beings, and what j
nurse does not? could fail but feel i
her heart aglow with satisfaction and !
the feeling that industrial work is,
worth while.
There is no one they open their
heart to mor? quickly, and when the |
nurse snows meiu uiai tin una rare
has been provided by the company!
"juid is theirs for the asking, they
nave gained a new point of view.
^Tbis cold, money-getting corporation
really interested. It has a heart.
In the mill village in which I had
the privilege of working, and into J
whose homes I entered day in and
^day out, I often found clean, wholesome
surroundings, lovely children,
one or more service stars in the window.
In some places the opposite
condition is forind and, therefore, the
need of the industrial nurse is greater,
but, in either case, no more royal
welcome could be given when they1
find out you are the nurse employed,
by the company.
When we feel as I presume we all,
do at times, what did I do to-day of:
importance? I think our one com-{
forting thought should be that it is
L
all a work of prevention, and in oui
work the preventing of infections ie
more worth while than caring for a
big accident, for the less of those we
have, the better.
Our need is great, let us see that
we try to live up to our possibilities.
We are only children in the work,
and as Abraham Lincoln said, "I always
feel like taking off my hat to a
cbildt because I never know what possibilities
might be buttoned up under
his jacket". So let us hope the possibilities
which may be buttoned up
under our jackets may not lie dormant.
