Nursing and public health in England
Get PDFNursing has been considered a profession only since the establishment of training schools with the definitive standard of curriculum. In early English history, there were almost no doctors and none at all outside the important cities. The monks and nuns, all self-taught, became the prescribers for the community white noblewomen, who had a great number of servants and people dependent upon them, also developed skills in the art of healing. Educated persons, both men and women, were taught a little “physic†and surgery as part of their schooling. The “nurse†was little more than a ward maid, and there could not have been much real nursing done
A study of maternity of infant welfare with suggestions for a local county program
Get PDFWe may be well pleased to find ourselves living in a period of conscientious effort toward advancement, rather than in the age of decline a few centuries ago. At the present time, we are slowly mounting another curve. We are becoming aware that much must be done to give our mothers and babies the peace, comfort, and safety, science affords. In order to change such a low standing, we must turn to our state and inquire as to what she is doing
Obstetrics
No full textIt is difficult to give an in-depth description of obstetrics in all its many and varied phases in such a short paper.

Supervision thus means more than inspection. It judges the work and the worker; it studies them and their relationships and their development.

No full textPsychotherapy and the mentally ill. This paper delves into topics such as psychiatry and its basis upon psychology, growth and care of the insane from early times, care and treatment of the mentally ill, and mental hygiene and child guidance in Oregon
Thesis on living
No full textThe subject of living, itself, is far greater than either my time or ability can cope with, and through necessity, it must be narrowed down to a bird's eye view of living as seen by a nurse. Naturally, the health part of living will be my vantage point; from here I'll undoubtedly ramble from physician to nurse, punctuated with psychology, interspersed with psychiatry and sociology. From all these must come my own viewpoint of living
