Book Description

Excerpt from Public Health Nursing Revision at first seemed a simple matter, a question principally of amplification and correction. In proceeding, however, it became evident that something far more radical was necessary if true expression was to be given to modern trends of thought. Though eight years ago the public health nursing movement had emerged from its pioneer stage of development and was at a point where rapid growth was to be expected, the war, bringing as it did new knowledge of actual health conditions through the draft figures, and a new conception of the importance of national health, greatly accelerated the speed of normal growth and at the same time changed the emphasis on many points. It is this change of emphasis that has made a mere revision of the earlier book impossible, and has necessitated a complete rewriting.
