Before, old-techniques, folk remedies, and blended herbal medicines were ones been used for a long time to treat any kinds of illnesses and ailments. There were no formal training needed to execute such techniques. It was then became a profession in the late 1800’s in England and later in the US. Florence Nightingale led the establishment of the standards and regulations of nursing in England. Similar standards were also created in America and soon formed the Nurses Associated Alumnae, an organization which is responsible in advancing and protecting the nursing profession. It was later renamed to American Nurses Association.
In Illinois, even at present, the main industries still focuses in manufacturing, resource extraction of oil and coal, and agriculture. The state figured out that it needs to have medical services industries as well. Currently, it concentrates on getting more health care professionals, and that includes nurses.

CAAN Academy of Nursing was founded and established in this part of US wherein their main goal is to decrease the disparity and incongruity in health care. A literature overview was created to make a better program for everyone.
