Ward, Frances, 1950-
On duty power, politics, and the history of nursing in New Jersey [electronic resource] : - New Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, c2009. - 1 online resource : ill.
Exhilarated, exhausted : the pioneers, 1882-1900 -- Stepping out, agitating : 1901-1920 -- Orphan in the storm : 1920-1940 -- Building the modern world : 1940-1960 -- Expanding roles : 1960-1980 -- Autonomy : into the twenty-first century -- The door of last resort.
In 1886, Newark City Hospital opened a training school for nurses in New Jersey. With the dawn of a new century women began to demand rights that had been denied them, and nurses too demanded changes in health care and higher education. For the first time, On Duty offers a highly readable account of the struggle for professional autonomy by New Jersey nurses and reveals how their political and legislative battles mirrored the struggle of women throughout the country to redefine their roles in society.
