Albanian nurses trained by Americans. Head nurse, Miss Lucy Joachim (at right of picture) of New York City, and Miss Agnes Eubank, American Red Cross nurse to the Balkans from South Charleston, West Virginia, and four native Albanian nurses who are under their instruction in the Tirana, Albania hospital. Red Cross hospitals throughout the Balkan countries are tending to stimlate the medical and nursing professions. As in many other countries of Europe, where hospital relief work has been carried on extensively, the scientific surgical and general nurses of America have become the models for foreign women who see the possibilities of raising this profession in their countries to the American standard
