Abstract

This issue (15/2) of the AJNM presents 13 articles on diverse topics from a number of African countries. Five (38.5%) of these 13 articles focus on issues concerning nurses while eight (61.5%) focus on nursing and health-related issues. The first article reveals that although the South African public viewed nurses and nursing in a positive light, they would not encourage their children to become nurses. The next article provides a glimpse of the historical development of black South African nurses from 1908 until 1994.
