Public health nursing began in the United States as a small undertaking in which a few wealthy women hired one or two nurses to visit the sick poor in their homes. By 1910, the work of these nurses had expanded to include a variety of preventive programs. While most preventive programs originated with voluntary organizations, such as the visiting nurse societies, they were eventually taken over either by boards of education or health departments. As a consequence of the new division that resulted, sick nursing would increasingly become the sole domain of the voluntary organizations, while the teaching of prevention would become the responsibility of public agencies. By examining the history of public health nursing between 1900-30, this article considers why a movement that might have been significant in delivering comprehensive health care to the American public failed to reach its potential
