Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This interview with Elizabeth Budlong, RN (1911-1989) focuses on her quarter-century career as a public health nurse/school nurse in Taos County, New Mexico. From 1950 until her retirement in 1973, Ms. Budlong played a major role as an independent health care practitioner in her county. She devised and executed her own public health and school programs such as dental clinics, well-baby immunization campaigns, venereal disease detection programs, and others, which dominated her work as public health nurse for Taos County. Other subjects discussed include her own personal background; the political realities of public health nursing (securing funding within tight county budgets); the relationship between the central administration in Santa Fe and public health workers in the field; popular reaction to public health work; midwifery in Taos County; and others.
