If you have any personal images that you would like to share please send them to me. I'll be happy to add them to our collection.

Those look great, Joe! - I don't remember working with an iron lung, but ventilators have changed from big chugging behemoths into very small flat units for home use about the size of a notebook = amazing!

2nd edition 3rd edition

the 3rd edition released in 201o, " traces the social, political and economic history of nursing from its origins through contemporary practice with over 400 fine art images and unique timelines that offer an ‘at a glance’ view of nursing through the ages."
