Edith Dee Hall: Army Nurse, AORN Founder, and Visionary Perioperative Nursing Leader
Abstract:
The Army Nurse Corps boasts a distinguished legacy of selfless service to American Warfighters, with its members consistently demonstrating exceptional dedication and leadership to national nursing organizations. This biography chronicles the remarkable life of Edith Dee Hall (1897-1971), a trailblazing Army Nurse Corps Officer and the visionary founder of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). Shaped by the urgent demands of World War I and the influenza pandemic, Hall trained at the novel Army School of Nursing. Her subsequent career highlighted the critical need for a formal organization to unite operating room nurses and elevate patient care. Hall's instrumental leadership in AORN's establishment and early growth profoundly transformed perioperative nursing, establishing national standards for competence and ensuring "Better and Safer Care for the Patient in the Operating Room."
