This is the first volume in a planned series of books, Modern Nursing, which aimed to explore and define the direction of the nursing profession after World War II. The author makes the case for actively choosing that direction rather than being shaped by external forces, and notes the particular nursing needs of the 20th century. Chapter contents include social forces affecting nursing, nursing as its own social force, emerging patterns of nursing education, including postgraduate education, the widening concept of public health, newer approached to child development, adult health in an aging population, the responsibility of world citizenship, and more. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, good condition. 288 pages, octavo.
