To trace the progress of nursing education in the United States with consideration of the influence of university affiliation
Get PDFThe evolution and history of nursing is an art and a science has followed closely upon the rise and development of the medical profession in this country.

Small hospitals, with special attention to the hospitals in Washington County, Oregon
Get PDFThe small hospital plays a leading role in the health of the people of this nation. 75% of the hospitals in the United States have less than 100 beds. 51% have less than 40 beds. How are all these little units functioning? What are they contributing to the country? In the printed literature, the small hospital is completely overshadowed by the large city institution. An occasional short article is slipped in on the problems of a small hospital, as if they could be quickly and easily faced and solved. The small hospital is not a miniature of the large hospital it is a separate creation. Its problems are not those of a large institution and its relationships with the community are not those of a City Hospital.

Control of communicable diseases
No full textThe relative security we find today, which characteriÂzes the twentieth century, makes it almost impossible for us to believe the extreme disasters, fear, and suffering that predominated in the days of dirt, disease, ignorance, and pestilence. Only a few detailed stories of pre-historic times are necessary to make every one of us appreÂciate the immense distance that we have traveled since the earliest records of diseases that swept the lands at tremendous speed

Newer methods and objectives in nursing education
No full textAs an introduction to the subject matter which follows, this small piece of information, with all that it symbolizes seems to me to be particularly appropriate; namely, that during the past ten years, we have been trying to replace the "training school" with the "school of nursing". In addition to the above is a statement that I found giving the four objectives that nursing education is striving to attain. They are as follows, To prepare the nurse to meet more fully and efficiently her technical duties; to make her socially minded; to give her a keener appreciation and knowledge of the cultural values in life; and to make schools of nursing part of the state school system and to secure public support for them
