Provides a history of the Army Nurse Corps from the end of the Vietnam War to the year 2000. Written by Mary T. Sarnecky with a Foreword by Gale S. Pollock, this book focuses on an organization, the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, which the author has been privileged to be affiliated with – in one way or another – for the greatest part of her adult life. As an active duty officer, the author had first-hand knowledge about the Army Nurse Corps' inner workings and spent the last years of her Army career (from 1992) researching and writing the Corps' history.
One of Sarnecky's goals in researching and writing this history was to intrigue and provide a sense of gratification for the reader.
After the conclusion of the Vietnam War, several wide-ranging and significant changes exerted myriad effects on the Army Nurse Corps. The most influential of these phenomena included the dismantling of the Selective Service System, the reorganization of the Army, the launch of the Health Services Command (HSC), the opening of the Academy of Health Sciences, the transformation of the Office of the Army Surgeon General, the inauguration of improvements in the Army Reserve and National Guard, and the evolution in the roles and status of women.
