- Description:
- In this letter to Dr. W. Gill Wylie, Florence Nightingale speaks at length of the role that nurses play in the medical care of patients. She makes a point of saying that nurses are there to carry out the orders of doctors and surgeons; that they are not medical men nor medical women. She also states that it is her belief that nurses should be under the direction of a Matron, one who was very familiar with nurses and their management, as well as nursing procedures. Nightingale felt it was not the administration of the hospital nor the doctors who should oversee the nurses. Nightingale feels that a strict hierarchy is what creates a suitable work environment and discipline among nurses. She goes on to give examples of poor nurse and hospital management. Nightingale then states that she would send Dr. Wylie a report that was used often in hospital that gave advice on the proper training methods for nurses as well as the day-to-day procedures for nurses to follow.

- Ninety-three year-old Mary Agnes Rust Gruetzman talks about her service as an American Red Cross nurse in France during World War I. Gruetzman says that she, like many other young men and women, felt truly inspired to serve the cause and their country. Gruetzman discusses her nurse's training in Illinois, being sent overseas against the protests of her mother, the hospitals in which she worked, and her duties. She says that she was prohibited from keeping a diary while in France so she had the soldiers she treated write for her. Gruetzman's remarks are interspersed with interviewer Mae-Marie Irons's narration of Gruetzman's memories. Nelva Gillette also reads from Gruetzman's diary entries about being shipped to Brest, France, traveling to Paris, and her trip back to the States. The recording ends with songs from World War One including "Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning" sung by Arthur Fields and a medley sung by Jeffery O'Hara.
