The biggest thing to remember is they were all volunteers, 80 thousand of them. the professional Nurses would have been lost without them and the Soldiers too.

Assuming she didn't oversleep, of course she'd take her time - because there's a war out there. Rushing through the morning she'd just end up sloppy, which would be detrimental to her work. This is a volunteer in a hospital going to her shift, presumably she has a pre-determined time to start working so it should be quite easy to get up in time and do a proper morning routine.

@@stevemiller7433 - Thanks a million times over for your mother's service to all "her boys" and to the country for which she risked her own life, and for which she could help save countless lives. She, and her sister nurses of every other country fighting against the tyranny that threatened their freedom, deserve to be decorated for their heroism, in spite of the fact that, like all true heroes, they feel they don't deserve such recognition, as they were only doing "their job" - helping their fellow man. For anyone who still "doesn't get it," I will say this. Every nurse in the military drew the same risk as every other nurse as far as that risk was concerned. Whether the nurse served in Europe, Great Britain, Asia, Africa, the Pacific, or remained in the States, was not her call. She served where she was most needed, and where she was assigned. The biggest difference is that every single woman who served in the US Army and Navy Nurse Corps put her own life on the line voluntarily, because she knew she was needed, and that she could help save men's lives, not as a part of any draft or any other kind of requirement that she be there. At the same time, Nursing was the ONLY female profession that was put under the purview of the War Manpower Commission after Pearl Harbor. Nurses in the Pacific put their own lives on the line in a million different ways, and many Navy Nurses were held as P.O.W.'s by the Japanese for over three years. They continued to function as nurses within the camp to help treat other similar P.O.W.s during the whole time they were there, and were all decorated after their release toward the end of the War. The only thing any of them asked at their release was to be sent back in to serve with the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who were fighting so bravely to bring an end to the conflict. There were nurses who served on Hospital Ships which were sunk by the Japanese, at terrible loss of life. Even with those ships carrying brightly lit emblems of mercy as required by the military and the code which was regularly ignored by the Japanese, the Geneva Convention. They served as Flight Nurses on aircraft which also were used to transport men and materials of war, and so were not allowed to display any kind of Red Cross or other emblem of mercy, since they had also been used to transport men and materials of war. They had to take their chances, and risk being shot down while trying to evacuate the wounded, and get themselves out of danger at the same time. And there were instances where they WERE shot down, while managing to save their patients at the same time, as well as instances where the nurses lost their own lives. There are numerous stories and books which have been written, recounting the heroism of these women. There are also many instances of official recounting of their selfless bravery, which were told by the MEN who were there. None of this serves to minimize the service of all the men who put themselves on the line, in every country fighting against tyranny, taken prisoner, or living during occupation by the Axis powers, but it should not minimize the bravery of the women who put themselves at risk voluntarily to get into the fight as well.

He said so many time to his wife how he loved her and how she gave him the happiest moment of his life, and how he was sorry, "you would have to do the work of the father and the mother". And after he wrote a paragraph for his children (he had 4), he wrote "I sorry but I wouldn't be able to see you grew up" he said to his older daughter, who was the oldest child, "take care of your little sister and Two little brothers, show them the good way of life" "be good children and don't make your mom work to much, always be kind to here, because she is going to have to do a lot af thing, be always helpful" it was so cute and so sad, I was devastated, and he wrote that so beautifully, and the worst of all he survive by died of the Spanish flu in 1917

Resulka I think she would lift all the skirts up (dress, petticoat, undergarment blouse). She's not wearing any panties or anything that needs to go "down". However everything can be lifted up, and the crotch area is basically naked, so she can relieve herself fully clothed. Even in the 50's when corsets, garters and stockings were a big thing, women wore underwear OVER the garters, so they only needed to pull off their underwear and they could sit on a toilet with their garters and corsets still on. This could have been done because women used to wear stockings, that left the crotch area naked. If they would wear pantyhose under a corset or a tight dress, it would be basically impossible to go to the toilet.

@SunflowerSpotlight

Everyone says natural fibers are remarkably cool, but THAT many layers? I overheat in just a T-shirt in the summer. I don’t care how natural they are if you have five layers on, I feel like that’s going to be hot. I understand the necessity in this case, so you can change out of your apron and sleeves when needed, but otherwise, wowzers. I’ve always wondered if my temperature issues are because of me being a very ridiculously large chested woman for being smaller around the waist and petite. Maybe I conserve heat oddly because of it. I know people who are stouter also have issues with temperature regulation because of the insulation. So I just, I feel bad for the gals like me back then. At least I can look forward to a reduction one day and not being uncomfortable all the time, but back then, shifting from overbust corsets but before there were good reliable bras, ugh, I just... I feel so bad for them! I never want a time machine to strand me there, lol.

Amara - I'm with you there. I overheat way too easily, and the closer to naked I am, the better off usually (I also have giant breasts - probably doesnt help). Everything I've seen has led me to believe that people just didn't overheat as easily back then as we do now. I mean, you think this many layers are bad... Look at how much crap women were stuffing themselves into only 30-50 years prior to WWI, and those layers weren't all light, breathable cotton. Makes sense - humans have been steadily depleting the ozone layer for the last century, and we know it's having a measurable effect at this point. Plus, I know I can't possibly be the only one who's noticed that direct sunlight now feels much, much hotter than it did only 9 or 10 years ago. Ffs, I got a farmer's tan last summer and I STILL have it. I don't mean it went away and came back again this summer - it NEVER went away, and I don't think it's going to. Couple that with the average increase in weight and increasingly common hormonal imbalances, and it's no wonder we have so much trouble staying cool.

Amara Jordan you also have to remember- they were very used to wearing multiple layers. They’ve been doing so since childhood and since AC was a newer invention, these ladies had to deal with the elements around them. AC has definitely messed with our abilities to deal with temperatures. I come from South Carolina,which can get hot in the summer and I used to sweat so badly when outside because I tried to stay inside with ac. However, when I started working in China in a much hotter area and where AC is practically never turned on, it made me much more capable of dealing with SC summers when I come and visit. I essentially don’t even really sweat anymore when I’m in SC.

My mom bought us a set of colonial women's clothing (shift, wrap-shirt, long heavy cotton skirt, apron, and cap) and it was actually cooler wearing that than it was in shorts and a T shirt! There's a reason Bedouins wear long robes and layers!

My sister visits her patients in their homes, and the regulations for those nurses are a bit more relaxed (imagine if they weren’t allowed to wear coats in the winter!) but my sister-in-law works at a nursing home, with its strict uniform regulations, so I am seriously considering making her some oversleeves like the ones shown here. Her one requirement is that they can be washed at 90°C (“boil-wash”).

Oh the good old blue and white uniform. Nostalgic... I love the blue and white uniform. We wore this back in nursing school with nursing cap and Steinmann Pin. It's a bit hot and heavy to wear but it motivates you to go to work. There's just something about it that makes you feel proud. You only get to wear the blue and white after you passed all the rough trainings and tests for 3-4 years. Wearing the blue and white means more responsibilities but at the same time getting closer to work on your own.

You got to think of the fact that the VAD nurses are liken to what a CNA does today. CNA training is like five weeks cause it is caring for patients and learning cpr and vitals and personal care. The nurses do the actual medical stuff that required more training cause they need to have knowledge that in on par to what a doctor would know. It is still stressful cause its learning how to properly dress wounds and patient care and knowing how to not cross contaminate or spread infections, stuff like that. And the emotional demands cause it is them who spend the most time with sick, injured and dying patients. They build rapport and relationships cause they do all the care. Nurses usually have as much interaction with a patient as a doctor would.

If anything unpleasant happens, I just have to pull a lewer (calling the nurse) and Then go away. They didn’t really have that option back Then. Since I’m uneducated (working there as a summerjob) I’m not even allowed to do cpr. Actually, I’m not even allowed to give the patient as much as a cup of water, without asking the nurse. The service assistants (an actual education - a cross between a janitor and a cleaning lady - Can do simple/nessecary patient-related tasks like tansporting Them between places, cpr etc.) I just do tasks related to cleaning and serving food. Most of my contact with the patients, is Them asking What’s for dinner as I clean their room.

I think 3/4 length sleeves are more hygienic (it is so much easier to thoroughly wash your hands in 3/4 length sleeves). But I suppose the oversleeves would do the trick, too, if changed frequently enough. The clothing quantity requirements seem very expensive for women who were not being paid. No wonder the VAD nurses needed to be women of independent means. I afford them great respect for the work they did.

Without them doctors wouldn't know what to do. Some of the nurses I've come to meet have become friends for life. I adore all nurses and they are amazing. Some doctors have what I like to call a God complex meaning they think they are everything amazing. These nurses are the reason I am able to be healthy and live my life. Though I use a manual wheelchair these nurses always went above and beyond for me. Heck my nurse took a day off to show us around Hawaii while I was having surgery there. Always thank your nurses no matter what. They are angles who walk the earth

Wonderful video, such a nice tribute to these women. I think the uniforms look so professional and reassuring, too. For the times, very practical while maintaining modesty. I know most people today prefer the casual comfort of scrubs, but I'm old and was raised a different way and prefer things a bit more formal. Old sayings like "The clothes make the man" do have basis in truth..when a person is dressed professionally and nicely turned out, that person tends to act more professional, feel more confident, and be treated (and treat others in return)with more respect. A proper uniform also helps distinguish who is who and what their position is. Well, that's a whole different topic...so, thank you for a wonderful video with a nice bit of history attached, I enjoyed it very much. Nurses were a very important part of the war effort, too, and don't get the credit they deserve for the part they played!

I'm an RN and had the privilege of working for an older DON within the last 10 years. She was VERY strict about our uniforms and made us to back o whites! I hated the thought and fought it, but slowly realized, y patients LIKED it! And I felt so good inside wearing it, more clean, aesthetic and professional! And now? Its all I wear!!!!

@@taraelmegreen5527 I agree the starchy buttoned pure white uniform and those beautiful caps announcing what hospital you trained in. My mother was a nurse during WW2 . She and all her classmates looked professional. I fear that now nurses, doctors, janitors, the x-ray tech, lab techs, all look the same. Sloppy, wrinkled and unprofessional. I used to espouse the laid back look but now I think the old way was better.

Virginia O'Flaherty my mother was a nurse when they still wore the starched caps and uniforms. Sure, it looks good, but oftentimes doctors and management would prefer you be in uniform than save a patient’s life! She and her coworkers have been in multiple situations where their caps were off and were resuscitating patients when they were yelled at and told to stop what they were doing and put their cap on! The uniforms, while professional-looking, were utterly impractical.

I like this video the VAD nurses are kinda like what a cna does, but jeebus the amount of layers for a job that is that demanding. Like if my scrubs are too high wasted that is cumbersome to me cause they feel restricted when I bend. Props to the women who had to do this job with a high starched collar, a girdle, four layers of clothes and a wimple.

Thank-you so much for posting this. As a male nurse i have such an appreciation now for those wonderful and dedicated VAD nurses. How they made a positive contribution in caring for those brave soldiers in recovering. And more importantly, nursing and comforting those poor men who died from there wounds. And as far as the uniform is considered, i love it! The bad thing about scrubs today is two fold. 1} Patients, visitors, and even some doctors don't know what your capacity is unless they read your tag. With this uniform, you know instantly your dealing with a nurse. Even a number of years ago when nurses wore all white, you knew right off she was a nurse. And that's important. 2} Yeah, i'm going to say it. I LOVE & WANT those big pockets! And i'd even consider wearing an apron to get them! Maybe this video will start a new trend.

Not only did they know they were dealing with "A nurse," they knew that she was a minimally trained volunteer nurse, not a professional nurse with 3 years of training in a professional nursing school. The differences there would be critical, especially when the Professional Nurse was who you really needed. The VAD nurses performed a very important function during WWI, only they worked in the field too, not just behind the lines. Almost the same as the American Red Cross Volunteer Nurses Aides did during WWII. They wore a special, highly identifiable uniform, complete with cap, and released the professionally trained nurses still in civilian hospitals to do the more highly skilled jobs they had originally been trained to do, and also released them to practice nursing in the military overseas as well. Between the thousands of student nurses in the US Cadet Nurse Corps who were working in hospital wards as a normal part of their training, and the Red Cross Volunteer Nurses Aides who took on a great deal of the less technical care of patients, they both provided as much as 80% of the nursing care provided to patients during the 2nd World War.

Nobody went "rushing and running" everywhere. Every nurse knew where the medical supplies were kept in the area where she worked, and where other less prevalent supplies were cleaned, wrapped, sterilized and stored, such as surgical instruments, and suture equipment. So there was no need for running about. If the wound was serious enough, then the patient was most likely taken to Surgery or a treatment room for the work to be done. Most bleeding was managed by direct compression, or if on a limb, by application of a tourniquet, while the more permanent plans were made and carried out. It wasn't perfect, to be sure, but medicine, particularly battlefield medicine, had a long way to go yet. As evil and wasteful as war is, they DID learn a great deal from it in the long run, to advance the field of medicine on both the military and civilian sides. Plastic Surgery developed by leaps and bounds due to all the work done in that particular specialty during the "Great War," as it was known before it became the First World War*. Grievous facial wounds were repaired by rather crude techniques at first, but as time went on, very intently scientifically minded surgeons, who specialized in treating such wounds, found ways to repair such damage using finer techniques. (*It took the Second World War, or WWII, to happen before you could actually distinguish the two from each other in that respect!) And, Penicillin received an enormous "trial run" or "field test" during WWII, before it was turned loose on the civilian population after the War, in the mid 40's. It took a lot of time to learn how to produce a synthetic version, which grew it faster and in much larger quantities than it ever had been during the prewar years. And the dosage was refined when longer acting formulations were devised as well.
