History of the U.S. Air Force Nursing Services.

摘要

The subject of the study is a historical documentation of Air Force Nursing Services, beginning with the initiation of the Air Force Nurse Corps (AFNC), when flight nurses from the Army Air Corps transferred to form AFNC in 1949. A review of the accomplishments and developments of Air Force Nursing Services over the first 52 years up to the present is documented. The project includes written documentation of the significant events in the history of Air Force Nursing Services as they helped to craft the development and maturation of the Corps and nursing services components. The growth and impact of the Total Force concept (Air National Guard (ANG) and Reserves) will be included along with a look at how the events occurring in professional nursing in the United States affected the events in Air Force nursing and vice versa.
