Then there is the boring, long, hot, clinicals two to three days a week in those atrocious solid white scrubs that made you look and feel like you are a huge marshmallow, we called ourselves “Team Michelin”. We spent more time with each other than we did our…

Due to the establishment of training schools by Florence Nightingale, nurses received training and were better equipped to handle harsh situations such as those found in a war. As the war progressed and the number of wounded increased, the soldiers admired the nurses for their hard work and dedication.…

The film, Miss Evers’ Boys was about an inhumane study of African American men suffering from syphilis.

nurses who paved the way in the political arena. Some initiated policy proposals, some worked hard to veto others’ proposals and some who have demonstrated how a nurse can influence the implementation of health policy.
