A History of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps (Studies in Health, Illness, and Caregiving in America)

Rating:
Summary: Thoroughly researched and well written
Review: Dr. Sarnecky tells the story of the Army Nurse Corps in a compelling manner. She discusses the impact of the first female organization on the Army. She accurately discussed the work and changes in nursing practice brought about by this group of nurses.

My favorite chapter deals with nursing in Vietnam. For once, we are not treated to the"poor overwhelmed nurses" as has been the theme in most books written about nurses veterans of this war. She discusses the challenges facing these nurses and the ways that they dealt with them.

I hope that she will write volume two for the period 1972 until the present.
