Psychiatric Nursing

“One of the great friends and promoters of psychiatric nursing was Dr. Noyes, superintendent at Norristown State Hospital in Pennsylvania. In 1930, when I was a senior student nurse, my classmates and I spent four half-days, over a period of four weeks, at Norristown. . . . In 1962, when I gave a clinical workshop at Norristown, Dr. Noyes, then retired and in a wheelchair, attended some of the classes” (Paplau, 22).
