From now on it's YOUR job: There is a place for EVERY woman in this nurse crisis
Colour photograph of a smiling uniformed woman standing over a man lying on a stretcher, in front of a large Red Cross shape. Text states 'From now on it's YOUR job' and 'a place for EVERY woman in this nurse crisis', listing seven nursing roles and sending readers to a Nurse Recruitment Center. The technique is a bandwagon-style call to every woman, with 'crisis' as a faint fear-appeal.
