Celebration Of The
Diamond Jubilee
Of Professional
Nursing In The U. *S.
The year 1948 not only marks
the Diamond Jubilee of Profes
sional Nursing in the United
States, but signalizes the 75th an
niversary of the graduation from
nursing school of one' of our
greatest nurses, Linda Richards,
America’s Florence Nightingale.
“In 1873 a patient took Yis life
*n Ws,hands when he entered V
hospital,” says Miss Isadora Poe,
President' of the South Carolina
Nurse’s Association. “Before 1872
‘probationers’ or student nurses
were prepared for their work
neither theoretically nor practi
cally, but were ‘turned loose’ in
the hospital wartfs to learn nurs
ing by trial and error. The re
sult was that the student got hei
nursing training, such as it was,
at the expense of the hapless pa
tient. In those days judges often
gave delinquent young women
brought up before them the
choice of working in a hospital
or going to jail.” •
The first three American
Nightingale schools for nurses
were opened in 1873 by hospitals
located in New York, New H ven,
and Boston, the ANA states, so
that professional nursing in this
country is just 75 years old Con
trasting the lack of training
which was the rule among n -?ses
when hot flatirons were r,n lied
for the relief of typhoid, Ameri
ca's leading body of regi tered
professional nurses point; out
that today’s “white caps” avrrage
three years of nursing educ tion.
To salute the advances mrde in
the last 75 years and to focus
public attention on the progress
still to be made, the week of
November 14-20 was designated
Nursing Progress Week. More than
60 leaders in American life, in
cluding President Truman and
ex-president Herbert Hoover, were
sponsoring this Diamond Jubilee
of Nursing. Throughout South
