- W71308979 abstract "On June 7, 2012, a dear friend and fellow nursing historian Rosemary McCarthy quietly died at the Sacred Heart Home in Hyattsville, Maryland, 19 days shy of her 86th birthday The only child of Mary and Thomas McCarthy, Rosemary was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1926. A bright, talented, energetic, and serious young woman, she graduated from the Arlington High School on D-day, June 6, 1944. This was an important date for Rosemary because Allied troops were landing in France that day to begin the liberation of Europe from German occupation. Such a coincidence may have foretold her future.Unsure of what she wanted to do with her life, she considered being a physical therapist, artist, or nurse. Because her family was of modest financial circumstances, she selected nursing. At the time, hospital diploma schools of nursing charged little if any tuition. She first applied to the famous Massachusetts Hospital School of Nursing but was rejected be- cause they had already accepted their quota of Irish Catholic Students.1 She was not upset about this decision because the school also used quotas for Jewish and African American students. Encouraged by a family friend who was a nurse, she applied to the McLean Hospital School of Nursing in nearby Waverly. Admitted in 1945, she joined the school's U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps Program because it provided her tuition, uniforms, and books, plus a stipend. In return, upon graduation she was required to serve as a military nurse if needed. Her serving as a cadet nurse during World War II, made Rosemary feel that she was, as other fellow Americans, answering the needs of her county.As part of her training at McLean, she managed to enjoy some of the educational benefits of Mass. General because some of McLeans course work was done on the medical and surgical floors of Massachusetts Hospital and at the top ranked Children's Hospital of Boston. Rosemary finished her program in 1948, and because the war had ended in 1945, she wasn't required to serve in the military. She liked the idea of being an army nurse because she believed service to one's country was a duty and honor. Her father, however, was opposed to her joining the army because he did not think that the army was a place for a woman. He made her promise she would not become an army nurse for at least 4 years.2As a new graduate nurse, she remained at McLean Hospital employed as a staff nurse until she was enticed by her classmates to work with them at the Colorado Springs Psychopathic Hospital. The sudden death of her dad in 1952 freed her from her promise, and with the Korean War in progress, she joined the Army Nurse Corps in 1953 and was commissioned a First Lieutenant. This decision would provide Rosemary with a highly satisfying and interesting 30-year military career that took her to many distant lands. She retired in 1983 as a full colonel.During her Army service, she was posted at hospital facilities in Texas, Japan, Korea, California, and Hawaii. In 1956, she was sent to Korea to serve a tour of duty in the 44th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, one of the renowned MASH units. The experience of caring for injured soldiers in a war zone impressed Rosemary and shaped her attitude about the kind of care all military personnel should be provided. After this assignment, she was granted permission to enter the University of Minnesota School of Nursing where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1957.Her postings for the next dozen years moved her between Army edu- cational and administrative positions in bases across the country and while in these positions she managed to earn a Master's Degree in Nursing at Boston University. She also attended military educational programs at Walter Reed Army Hospital and Institute and the U.S. Army Academy of Health Science at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. In the early 1970s, she began a doctoral program at the Catholic University of America where she earned a Doctor of Nursing Science in 1974. …" @default.
