  • Title: They answered the call: Nebraska nurses join the ranks in World War II.
    Author: Schmeiding VE, Anderson ML, Bradley E.
    Journal: Nebr Nurse; ; 37(4):15. PubMed ID: 15657994.
    Abstract:
    On December 7, 1941, there were fewer than 1,000 nurses in the Army Nurse Corps. That infamous day, 82 of those brave nurses were stationed in Hawaii. Their bravery, leadership and calmness under extreme duress foreshadowed the amazing role nurses would play in World War II. In the months and years that followed Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor, over 59,000 American nurses would answer the call and join the Army Nurse Corps. Courageous Nebraskan women were among them.
