Abstract
TO ATTEMPT to discuss the progress in nursing during the past 50 years is to face a baffling task.

But before we concede any such decision, much needs to be said, and much can be said.Let us look, then, at this half-century, namely, the years between 1900 and the present. What has been happening, be it labeled progress or otherwise? What are the boundaries of this . . .Keywords
