Capturing Delaware Nursing History

“In the face of almost overwhelming difficulties, hampered by every kind of restriction, beset by all forces of ignorance and superstition, we have seen how untiringly they (nurses) labored, clearing away the obstructions in the path of progress, and building the foundations on which our work of the present day rests.”
~A Short History of Nursing, Dock and Stewart; 1920.

It is in this spirit that the Delaware Nurses Association is working to capture nursing history in our state. The collection of nurses’ stories and perspectives will help nurses appreciate the past, define the present, and influence the future of nursing.

Your stories and perspectives will be included in a collection of Delaware Nursing History. The Delaware Nurses Association thanks you in advance for taking the time to share your stories.

Information and details are provided in the questionnaire packet. To download the electronic version, click here. To access the paper copy (for handwritten submissions), click here.
