Throughout the twentieth century, there was seldom a sustained period when the supply of nurses was equal to demand. This book offers a historical analysis of the relationship between the development of nurse employment arrangements with patients and institutions and the appearance of nurse shortages from 1890-1950.

JEAN C. WHELAN was an adjunct associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Whelan was named president of the American Association for the History of Nursing (AAHN) in 2012. She received the 2013 Legacy Award from Penn Nursing Alumni in 2014 and the Mary M. Roberts Award from the AAHN in 2015.
