The U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps Guidebook: A History of a Program and Legacy of its People

By Elsie M. Szecsy

This compact volume summarizes the essential facts about the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps. This uniformed service, administered by the U.S. Public Health Service, during World War II, addressed the urgent need for nurses when so many were leaving the hospitals to enter military service on the battlefields in Europe and Asia. This book also discusses the legacy left by these 124,000 women, who are now in their 90s, in the nursing profession in the decades since World War II. This book is useful for anyone who would like to learn more about this important program in their preparations to honor Cadet Nurses during the 75th anniversary of the Corps in 2018. Interior images are black-and-white.
