¹4 Jun 1920, an Army Reorganization Act authorized relative rank for Army nurses in recognition of the outstanding services of more than twenty thousand Army nurses during WW I. Although allowed to wear the insignia of the relative rank, it did not grant full rights and privileges, such as pay.

²13 Mar 1942, the Superintendent of the Nurse Corps received a temporary commission as a Colonel in the Army of the United States. Although they wore the insignia of that grade, they were denied the pay of that grade. In 1952, the 82d Congress in Private Law 716 reversed the decision and they, then retired, received the pay which had been withheld for ten years.

³16 Apr 1947 Congress established the Army Nurse Corps in the Medical Department of the Regular Army. The Army-Navy Nurse Act also provided permanent commissioned officer status for members of the Army Nurse Corps.
