As the United States for the first time this December has gone over the 100,000-mark,[1] in the number of COVID hospitalizations, it is perhaps of some consolation to know that nurses remain the most trusted profession in the country.[2] In fact, they are number one. Almost every year. A side-effect of their non-stop care is that few nurses ever have the time to reflect on their experiences. According to NTCC history professor, Dr. Andrew Yox, for example, there is nowhere to go for a history of nursing in Texas. With its nonunionized nurses, and strong emphasis on holistic care, the story of Texas nursing might well produce some significant and unique perspectives.
