Miss Eldredge spoke ON the nurs,
my situation today, telling of the
early battles the pioneer United
States nurses had been forced TO con.
tend with, due largely TO the fatr
mat the nursing profession was not
organized, that universities had not
placed in their curriculum course,
OF study for women desiring to sper
iallze in the nursing profession and
that the people in the communities
where nurses training schools had
neen established were not alive to
the duty before them in making the
conditions of such training schools
iyable.
the ilrst organization of nurses
was perfected in 1893. In 1896 the
American Nurses Association was
formed, which has done much toward
training nurses and in keeping the
puDlic from being imposed upon by
al inferior grade of attendants.
The nurses are now organized all
over the United States with national
state, district and aunnae organiza.
tions. This is practically the same
plan as adopted by the American Med
