Administrative History

Nurses at War project was sponsored by Brigham Young University to collect stories and records of Latter-day Saint nurses who had served in combat.

The Nurses at War project was sponsored by the Brigham Young University Department of Religion and the College of Nursing. It aimed to collect the stories, diaries, photographs, and other records of Latter-day Saint nurses who had served in combat. The project’s idea was formed by Patricia Rushton, who eventually co-authored the culminating publication, "Latter-day Saint Nurses at War: A Story of Caring and Sacrifice." Other co-authors included Lynn C. Callister, and Maile K. Wilson. It was published in 2005 by the Religious Studies Center of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
