A Social History of Lincoln School for Nurses, Bronx, N. Y. With Emphasis on Present Functions and Services: 1998-1948

Gwendolyn Samuel Bourne, Fordham University

Abstract

Today, from all sides, come appeals for nurses. It is well nigh impossible to pick up a newspaper or magazine which does not contain somewhere an article, report or institutional advertisement stressing the need for trained nurses. This recruitment of students for nurse training has been a matter of national interest and concern since 1941 and is well enough known to require no detailed description or comment here.The value of nursing as a career has not penetrated too deeply the consciousness of many women, and there is one sector of the American society which has long been insufficiently drawn upon by the nursing profession-the members of the Negro race.
