Feedback:
Most practical nursing and associate's degree nursing programs are located in vocational education settings or in community colleges. In 1908, the American Red Cross began offering home nursing education to teach lay women appropriate nursing care for illnesses within their own families. In 1892, the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) opened the first practical nursing school in the United States in Brooklyn, New York. Later, it was named the Ballard School. The Ballard School closed in 1949 because of YWCA reorganization. The local public library does not provide a degree in practical nursing.
