Nursing has faced many critical situations in its long history, but probably none more critical than the situation it is now in, and none in which the possibilities, both of serious loss and of substantial advance, are greater. What the outcome will depend in large measure on the kind of leadership the nursing profession can give in planning for the future and in solving stubborn and perplexing problems ... if experience is any criterion, little constructive action will be taken without intelligent and courageous leadership.”—Isabel Maitland Steward (1943).
