    The president stated that while the membership as a whole was in Chapter One · Early Regulation 21 favor of a board made up of nurses, the Legislative Committee “saw fit to change the language to delete the board of nurse examiners and substitute the board of medical examiners” on advice of attorneys. Palmer responded with the following: “Better to be ten years in getting a good bill than to have to accept one like that of Iowa…The bill remains a most unfortunate measure.”32 An improved bill was finally enacted in Iowa in 1907.
