As an initial step in its extensive postwar editorial expansion program, the American Journal of Nursing has appointed to its staff a new assistant editor much of whose time and attention will be concentrated upon developments in the field of psychiatric nursing.
Edith Patton, the new editor (B.A., Smith College; M.N., Western Reserve) will bring to her important new assignment an experience which began at the Westchester Division of the New York Hospital in White Plains as staff nurse and assistant night supervisor, and includes services at Massachusetts General Hospital and Norwich (Conn.) State Hospital as assistant supervisor, instructor in psychiatric nursing, and assistant director of nursing in charge of education.
