Research in nursing education: yesterday--today--tomorrow.

Reilly gives us a highly personal account of the development of research in nursing education, bridging from the past to the present and on to the future. Ranging from Nightingale as statistician to the effects of doctor-nurse relations to the acceleration produced by various wars to the special nurses who strived to make research a natural process for the profession, Reilly makes us feel like we live along with her this part of our rich heritage.
