She is also Chief\nNurse Officer of the United States Public Health Service. In this position Mrs.\nLeone has the opportunity to interpret nursing to allied groups, and to participate\nin discussions of national issues which affect nursing. Because of her personal\nbeliefs and convictions about nursing, she has been able through this position to\ngain recognition for nursing in the United States, and to help establish standards\nand acceptable practices in nursing to the end that patients receive better nursing\ncare.\nMrs. Leone is active in nursing organizations, both nationally and internationally.\nShe has been a member of the Executive Council of the National Committee for the\nImprovement of Nursing Services, and of the National Nursing Accrediting Service of\nthe National League for Nursing. She has been a member of the Nursing Advisory\nCommittee for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. She is the author of a series of nursing\ntexts and has written many articles on nursing.\nMrs. Leone is active in the international field, and was nursing adviser to the U.S.\ndelegation to the first (1948) and ninth (1956) assemblies of the World Health\nOrganization. She has served on expert committees of WHO meeting in Geneva, and is\na continuing member of this panel of experts.\nDuring her World War II service as head of the Cadet Nurse Corps, enrollment of student\nnurses increased approximately 20,000 per year over the number normally enrolled. Even\nwith this great increase in available nursing resources, high standards of nursing\neducation were maintained. Because of these contributions to nursing in wartime, and\nbecause of her continuing leadership in the field of nursing, we recommend Mrs.\nLucile Petry Leone as a recipient of the Florence Nightingale Award.\n6"
