DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project integrates the traditional focus on institutional and organizationally based nursing practice with a significantly broader focus that also includes the meaning and practice of nursing within families and communities. It focuses on 19th and early 20th century nursing in the United States. This project conceptualizes nursing as both a particular kind work and a particular process of identity development. The project will argue that individuals chose nursing not just for meaningful work but also for the power and the gendered salience it brought to lives lived within local families and communities. It will present the choices made by nursing men and women as those that strengthened their positions within their individual communities. It will also provide a broader historical perspective on the social, political, class, and gendered processes through which individual people, local events, and customary ideas forged a sense of professional identity that simultaneously maintained ethnic, religious, and racial distinctiveness. Nurses have historically represented a much broader cross section of American women and some men than most comparable disciplinary groups, and their experiences are thus more generalizable. This project is also deliberately national in scope, comparing and contrasting the experiences of nursing women and men in the northeast, the southern states, the Utah frontier, and California. This project captures relevant data through analysis of documents about nurses found in archival family papers throughout the above-identified regions of the country. The place of this data within more extensive collections allows one to consider these individual nursing experiences within a broader family, community, and social perspective. Finally, the intersection between place and gender will illustrate how nineteenth and early twentieth century nurses, involved in local events and influenced by customary and socially resonate ideas still forged a broadly based, purposeful, and dedicated sense of mission predicated on gendered ways of "being with" and "doing to" others.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目将传统的重点集中在机构和基于组织的护理实践上，并更加广泛地关注，其中还包括家庭和社区内护理的含义和实践。它着重于美国的19世纪和20世纪初的护理。该项目将护理概念化为特定的工作和特定的身份发展过程。该项目将争辩说，个人不仅为有意义的工作选择了护理，还选择了它带给当地家庭和社区生活的权力和性别显着性。它将提出护理男人和女人做出的选择，因为那些加强了他们在各个社区中的地位的选择。它还将提供有关社会，政治，阶级和性别性过程的更广泛的历史观点，通过这些观点，个人，当地事件和习惯思想通过这些过程赋予了一种专业认同感，同时维持种族，宗教和种族的独特性。与大多数可比的纪律群体相比，护士历史上代表了美国妇女和一些男性的更广泛的横截面，因此他们的经验更具普遍。该项目在范围上也是故意的，与东北，南部各州，犹他州边境和加利福尼亚州的护理男女的经历进行了比较和对比。该项目通过分析有关该国档案家庭论文中发现的护士的文件来捕获相关数据。这些数据在更广泛的收藏中的地位使人们可以在更广泛的家庭，社区和社会观点中考虑这些个人护理经历。最后，地点与性别之间的交集将说明19世纪和20世纪初的护士如何参与当地事件并受到习惯和社会共鸣的思想的影响，但仍基于“与他人”和“与他人”和“与他人”和“与他人相处的性别方式，都基于广泛，有目的和专门的使命感。
