In the early twentieth century a movement toward a scientific, research-based defined body of nursing knowledge and practice was evolving. Nurses began to assume expanded and advanced practice roles. Mary Adelaide Nutting was instrumental in the affiliation of nursing education with universities.
In 1990 the American Nurses Association established the Center for Ethics and Human Rights.
Nursing in hospitals expanded in the late nineteenth century.
Isabel Hampton Robb helped found the Nurses' Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada in 1896. This organization became the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1911. She authored many nursing textbooks, including Nursing: Its Principles and Practice for Hospital and Private Use (1894), Nursing Ethics (1900), and Educational Standards for Nurses (1907), and was one of the original founders of the American Journal of Nursing (AJN).
