When Dame Sheila Quinn became director of ICN's newly established Social and Economic Welfare Division in 1961, Daisy Bridges retired as general secretary, only to emerge later on as an ICN historian. It was during the years that Bridges spent delving into ICN archives that Quinn passed many hours with her reminiscing about ICN's fascinating past. Quinn's interest in ICN's history grew when she became executive director and was later refueled by her eight years on the ICN Board. Quinn's real chance came when the Board in 1985 gave her a new assignment: updating ICN's history, the result being ICN--Past and Present, which was launched at the 19th Quadrennial Congress in Seoul in 1989. Below, her reflections.
1961年,希拉·奎因女爵士成为国际护士理事会新成立的社会与经济福利部主任时,黛西·布里奇斯卸任总书记一职退休,后来成为国际护士理事会的一名历史学家。在布里奇斯钻研国际护士理事会档案的那些年里,奎因花了许多时间与她一起回忆国际护士理事会引人入胜的过去。奎因担任执行董事后,对国际护士理事会历史的兴趣与日俱增,后来在国际护士理事会董事会任职的八年又进一步激发了她的兴趣。1985年,董事会给了她一项新任务,这才给了奎因真正的机会:更新国际护士理事会的历史,成果就是《国际护士理事会——过去与现在》,该书于1989年在首尔召开的第19届四年一次大会上发行。以下是她的思考。
