"'The Problem' of Student Nurses of Japanese Ancestry During World War II" by Susan McKay, 2002

This paper explores the experiences of four Japanese American student nurses who were forced to relocate to internment camps, including Heart Mountain, during World War II. Despite the difficulties they faced in relocating, accessing education, and dealing with racial discrimination, these women persevered, finding work as nurses in internment camp hospitals and eventually continuing their nursing education outside the camps.
