1930's image of an advertisement for a coorespondence course in nursing. I have a 1940 textbook - THE only textbook, in 53 chapters, or lessons, in nursing theory and practice. This image, though, is factually incorrect, in that only - ONLY - RN's wear a black stripe on their caps, while this course, as revealed on the first page of the first chapter, is to train LPN's. RN practice and education was then, as it is now, governed by State Boards of Nursing, and coorespondence schools were OUT.
