This is a social history of the NOPHN and the development of public health nursing as we know it today. The NOPHN grew out of a need for a mechanism for standards development in public health nursing and education, and the book explores the origins of the NOPHN, it's formative years before and during World War One, the aims of the organization in the interwar years, and the changes that grew out of the second world war and the immediate postwar years.
