Praise for On Duty

"On Duty provides the much needed context to understand the rich and complicated history of nursing in New Jersey.  This particular history also provides the background to think about how we might move forward as a profession in meeting the health care needs of those entrusted to our care. On Duty promises to make an important contribution to this emerging area of study."—Patricia D'Antonio, editor, Nursing History Review and associate professor and associate director, Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania
Description:

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.
