Abstract: School nursing programs were introduced in New York City in 1902. Afterward, several municipal school and health districts, particularly in the Northeast and the West, began their own school nursing services (Rogers, 1917). In other areas of the country, particularly the Southeast, school nursing remained an under-developed area of nursing practice. In each location, it developed uniquely, responding to local personalities, political considerations and community needs. By the early 1930's the Great Depression and the Federal response known as the New Deal began to change the provincial nature of school nursing services.
