Practical Nurses Trained by Malben It was a festive occasion when 33 practical nurses received their diplomas recently at Shaar Menashe, the Malben hospital, east of Hadera. Malben is the Joint Distribution Com- mittee welfare program on be- half of aged, ill and handi- capped immigrants, maintained in Israel with United Jewish Appeal funds. What makes these nurses different from other practical nurses is that their curriculum included training in general and geriatric psychiatry, and the rehabilitation and care of aged and chronic patients. Such nurses are in critically short supply in the expanding net- work of psychatric institutions in Israel. Among the graduates of the year - and - a - half course were three male nurses from minor- ity communities, two Arabs and a Druze. Ismail Diab, 22-year- old Army veteran from Rama, in Western Galilee, has already taken a job at Haifa's Roths- child Hospital, one of the few hospitals which has a ward for chronic diseases. Abed Seror, from Eilabun village near Naza- reth, has gone to Asaf Harofeh Hospital to take a full nursing course and will ultimately spe- cialize as a surgery nurse. Ibrahim Mohammed Nazer, from a village in the Arab Triangle, will work at the Shaar Menashe Hospital. Most of the graduates have taken jobs at Kfar Menashe, which once cared mainly for residents of Malben's own old age homes.
