It was established in 1888 as The Nursing Record, obtaining its final title in 1902. [2] The journal was discontinued in 1956. [1]

The journal was acquired in 1893 by Bedford Fenwick and his wife, Ethel Gordon Fenwick, the founder of the Royal British Nurses' Association, [3] who used it to support the campaign for the official registration of nurses. [2]

All issues of the journal are available online, having been digitised in 2001 following a grant from the Wellcome Trust. [2]
