Virginia Nurses Association Nursing History

Decent Essays
From creating the Virginia Nurses Association to spreading her knowledge all over she will impact me in the near future. Instead of only working in hospital she took her nursing to homes where people could not afford to go to the hospital. She always provided care to people no matter what the situation is and she goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not helping was never an option for Sadie. We nurses should always provide the best care we can. Without Sadie, Virginia would never be the same without the amazing things she has done.
