Page Count	668
Abstract	The intent of this volume is to outline the historical framework of the seemingly perpetual issues related to nursing, particularly in the Army of the United States of America. It describes how those who have gone before have faced and occasionally resolved familiar challenges. Hopefully, this story will enrich the U.S. Army Nurse Corps sense of pride, identity, and continuity while highlighting threads common to the fabric of Army nursing across the ages. This work also aspires to offer affirmation and encouragement to those who have experienced comparable dilemmas in the past and those who presently face similar concerns. Additionally, the book functions as a resource for those negotiating the minefields of today and offers a historical background for those responsible for future decisions and actions. Finally, the history of the Army Nurse Corps should remind us of the importance of the past, which has determined the present and will continue to affect the future. In summary, this work documents the history of the Army Nurse Corps while simultaneously providing a wealth of pragmatic information.
