Abstract
The evolution and history of nursing is an art and a science has followed closely upon the rise and development of the medical profession in this country. Nursing is a comparatively recent offshoot of the Hippocratic tree, but our Guild sprang into existence in response to the same social and humanitarian instincts, impulses and necessities that gave birth to the healing art.
