Description

Now in its newly revised Fourth Edition, this well-illustrated history of nursing in America is a classic among nursing historians. American Nursing:: A History, Fourth Edition is the only comprehensive text on the market devoted to the history of nursing in the United States.

For this edition, a new chapter addresses the past ten years’ developments in the profession—including an exploration of the nursing shortage—and projects key nursing trends for the future. Also new illustrations are found throughout the book as approximately 50 percent of the previous edition’s illustrations have been replaced with new images.
