Feedback:
World War II marked the first time that men as well as women were actively recruited into nursing. Male nurses were not given ranking equal to female nurses in the Armed Forces, however, until 1954 during the Korean War, not the Civil War, World War I or World War II. Nurses also began to assume a broader, more responsible role; a trend that continues today. World War I marked the first emergency training of nurses.
