Toward a History of Health Care
This positioning paper presents a new paradigm for the history of both nursing and medicine that will involve studying these actors and their practices in relation to each other rather than, as we have done, in isolation. This is not to say that both disciplines have had the same orientation and the same ambitions. Nursing, as I argue, has had a more constant focus and impact on its particular communities; medicine, by contrast, more successfully…

Cultivating Constituencies
I examine the history of the East Harlem Nursing and Health Service in New York City from its beginnings as a demonstration project in 1922 to its closing in 1941. I explore the less tangible goals, needs, and ambitions of the many different constituents that paid for, delivered, and received health care services. I place these goals, needs, and ambitions as critically important drivers of ultimate success or failure. The East Harlem Nursing and …

Kara Dixon Vuic, Officer, Nurse, Woman
I had once thought about joining the Army Nurse Corps. Its recruiter promised to fund the final two years of my college education, and then introduce me to a career of service and a life of adventure. I decided not to join at the last minute for reasons that now escape me. But I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I had joined. On one level, Kara Dixon Vuic's Officer, Nurse, Woman shows me. Using a rich trove of nurses' own s…
A Contemporary History of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps
The idea of women warriors is not new. Women have long served in the U.S. armed forces as nurses. But, as Mary Sarnecky points out in the second volume of her work on the history of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps (ANC), not all nurses were women. As her new book shows, the more recent history of the ANC can often confound gendered expectations. Two of the three nurses killed in the November 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, for example, were men…
Courtney Davis, The Heart's Truth
One can fairly easily understand the body work of nursing: the bathing, the feeding and the constant turning of sick patients that provide sustenance, comfort and protection against further assaults. One can also appreciate the skill with which the work is done: the calibrations of complicated medication schedules, the deftness of wound irrigations, and the constant surveillance of the machines and the people attached to the machines, watching fo…
Reimagining Nursing's Place in the History of Clinical Practice
This work posits how medical history might be conceptualized if nurses and nursing history was used as the analytical lens. Nursing is seen not as a separate part or subsection of medical history, but rather one that is deeply embedded in the relationships and social order of clinical practice. Nursing is an analytical category in and of itself. By approaching nursing as such a category, we enlarge "new notions of historical significance" to enco…

Letters from the Crimea (review)
I must admit to a recurrent fantasy that soon American scholars interested in exploring the life and work of Florence Nightingale will not need to arrange a lengthy sojourn in Britain. Rather, they will simply want to make sure that their borrowing privileges at their local libraries remain intact. There they will find reprints of her classic works, edited versions of her more obscure writings, and a broad range of collections of letters that tou…
