Abstract
Many thousands of nurses are now employed in the public service. A fairly large proportion are working under civil service laws, but there are far too many whose positions are not subject to merit system provisions. In many places political and personal favoritism still constitutes the chief basis for appointment, tenure, and promotion. In the discussion which follows, the author points out the values of the merit system, outlines principles of personnel administration, and describes briefly the employment methods used by civil service commissions. He urges nurses to work more actively with civic groups seeking to develop higher professional standards of employment and efficiency. These improvements he believes can be made only with the establishment of a genuine merit system in all levels of government-EDITOR.
