Nursing history and progress in the United States
The piece traces ancient nursing customs and contrasts them with modern views, noting Hindus praised nurse virtues and Europe lagged behind. It states that 1878 marked America's first trained nurse graduation, Continental Army nurses earned four dollars monthly plus one meal, and today nursing is costly yet highly trained with about 300,000 registered nurses nationwide.
