(e) To visit at stated intervals all cases in localities in which there are not county nurses, and to endeavor to obtain contact occasionally with county nurses, where such are on duty, with a view of keeping them informed of conditions for the best interest of the ex-service man.
(f) Field notes on all of the above duties will be conveniently kept on Assignment Memorandum Form 701, or other form that may be designated hereafter.
5. It is not the function of the nurses to supervise Vocational Training. She is not to intimate to the beneficiary any doubt as to whether he is assigned to the proper course, or whether institutional or job training is best suited to his needs, but any suggestions she can give to the Training Officer in regard to the man’s attitude towards his training, will be helpful in his rehabilitation. Nurses will not call men away from their work for the purpose of interviewing them, unless by special arrangement, suggested by the Training Officer.
6. In territory where a nurse and a Social Service worker are both on duty, the nurse is not to attempt to investigate social conditions or make recommendations for rectifying them, if unsatisfactory conditions are found. Per contra the Social Service worker is not to assume the work of the nurse in investigating conditions affecting the health of the beneficiaries. Emergency cases will arise where it will be obviously advantageous to the interests of the beneficiaries for whether a nurse or a Social Service worker to take immediate action on a matter not strictly within her province, but when this has to be done the other should be at once notified of the circumstances.
7. Nurses will not be expected to assist in special nursing except in training centers, or in temporary emergencies when it is impossible to hospitalize claimants, or where there is no person available to give instruction in home nursing.
