註釋"The U.S. Army Nurse Corps has a long and extraordinary history. Mary T. Sarnecky's recounting of our history in her 1999 volume, A History of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, was superb. Now, we are delighted to release her exciting next analysis documenting the Army Nurse Corps history from the end of the Vietnam War to the year 2000. Here Sarnecky addresses a remarkable episode in the organization's evolution, a period characterized by a series of progressive steps empowering our officers to assume key command and leadership positions in the Army Medical Department. Once this momentum was established, it challenged the limitations of the proverbial 'glass ceiling' so prevalent during this period. Sarnecky's new publication also explores the vital roles of the Army Nurse Corps in supporting and sustaining high-level military operations that began with Operation Desert Storm. Professionalism, clinical competency, adaptability, and flexibility remain the hallmark of the Army Nurse Corps, clearly illustrated in this long-awaited volume. In tandem with her previous work, Sarnecky offers us a wealth of scholarly research narrated in her unique, straightforward style imparting a rich institutional history of which all professional nurses should be exceptionally proud. It is imperative that we review the 'lessons learned' from this period in our nursing history and utilize the experiences, knowledge, and leadership of these extremely talented and dedicated professional nurses. The foundation that previous Army nursing leaders had built allowed this new period to be fruitful and exciting. I am confident that because of these nursing leaders, professional nursing will continue to flourish in America and around the world."--Foreword.
