Our Story

The following excerpt from an executive summary in the September/October 1996 issue of The Missouri Nurse refects on the early history of MONA:

It was like stepping back in time reading the minutes of the committee planning the first annual meeting of the Missouri Nurses Association. It was to be held in St. Louis in 1906 in the “auditorium of the St. Louis Medical Society…(if it) could be secured…” A two day agenda was planned that included an “automobile ride for visiting delegates complements of Jewish Hospital.”

Our long rich history as advocates for patients and quality nursing care was firmly established in the early beginnings of the Association. Documentation of meetings in 1908 evidenced the members’ concern about the “conditions and managements of the almshouses in Missouri.” A call for volunteers to investigate the almshouses was made by the Association, thus taking our first official actions in improving the quality of nursing care.

By 1911, “the representative almshouse officials were visited and the reports for the great need for better nursing care was opened for discussion.” The Executive Board appointed an inspector of the almshouses who would make recommendations to the Governor. They also met with the legislators and began working with the state charities for the improvement of the quality of nursing care.
