Frontier nursing in the public health model might invoke images of school nurses on horseback in rural Kentucky or the wilds of the western prairies. Northern Minnesota was a frontier in the last decade of the 19th century, due to the discovery of one of the richest seams of iron ore on the North American continent. Immigrants from Europe responded to the opportunities this discovery created. Among the many Finns arriving on the Iron Range of Minnesota, as it came to be named, were the parents of Lillian Augusta Wilhelmena Beck, John and Hulda Beck. Over her more than nine decades of life, their daughter became one of the most well known school nurses on the Iron Range. Her story evokes memories of the creation of school nursing in the public health model by nurses at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City.
前沿护理在公共卫生模式中可能会让人联想到肯塔基州农村地区或西部大草原上骑着马的学校护士的形象。19 世纪最后十年，明尼苏达州北部是一片边疆，因为在那里发现了北美洲最富有的铁矿之一。来自欧洲的移民对这一发现所带来的机会做出了回应。在众多抵达明尼苏达州铁矿带（后来被命名）的芬兰人中，有莉莲·奥古斯塔·威尔海梅娜·贝克的父母，约翰和胡尔达·贝克。在她超过九十年的生命中，她的女儿成为铁矿带上最著名的学校护士之一。她的故事让人想起了纽约市亨利街定居点的护士在公共卫生模式下创建学校护理的记忆。
