This historical overview is a compilation of information from multiple archival sources; it provides a perspective of the course of events contributing to the present nursing shortage among American Indians. The review begins in the late 1800s by identifying educational assimilation efforts, the role offield nurses and field matrons in introducing Western healthcare to American Indians,followed by examples of American Indian nursing programs and early American Indian nurses and their contributions, and concludes with information about current American Indian nursing programs and recruitment efforts particularly the Recruitment and Retention of American Indians into Nursing (RAIN) program, introduced in the 1990s.
本历史概述是对多个档案来源信息的汇编；它提供了一个视角，展示了导致目前美国印第安人护理短缺这一情况的一系列事件。回顾始于19世纪后期，首先介绍教育同化努力、实地护士和护士长在向美国印第安人引入西方医疗保健方面所起的作用，接着列举美国印第安人护理项目的例子以及早期美国印第安护士及其贡献，最后介绍当前美国印第安人护理项目和招募工作的相关信息，特别是20世纪90年代推出的“招募和留住美国印第安人从事护理工作”（RAIN）项目。
