1. NURSES' HEALTH STUDY

The Nurses' Health Study was begun in 1976 to investigate the potential long term consequences of the use of oral contraceptives. But the studies were soon expanded to include diet and nutrition, in recognition of their roles in the development of chronic diseases. The research continues today with over 116,000 women enrolled in the study. To learn more, visit:

3. ARTICLE: NURSING - THE ARMY WAY

When RNs go into the Army, through the Reserve Officers Training Corps or by direct commission after graduating from college, their first mission is not medical-it's military, and leadership training permeates all that follows as an Army nurse.
