Army+Nursing+Corps+LF

=Army Nurse Corps= During the war there were 400 active nurses serving. On May 25, 1918 the Army School of Nursing was authorized. But the nurses in the army didn't have officer status. They were not commissioned, but they were appointed to the ANC. It was difficult for the nurses because the Army medics would not listen to the nurses or take what the nurses had to say into consideration. After the war the Congress showed their appreciation for all of their accomplishments by allotting them "Relative Rank", meaning that an Army Nurse First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, etc. received less pay and status than a male officer of corresponding rank. No nurses died from attacks by the enemy, but a lot of them died by the Influenza Epidemic.
