Congress grants Navy Nurses full commissioned status
In 1947, new laws established the Army, Navy and Air Force Nurse Corps on a permanent basis and gave the nurses regular commissions on the same terms as male officers. In fact, Colonel Florence A. Blanchfield, the eighth Superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps, became the first woman to hold a regular Army commission.
