Infographic: The History of Nursing
A lot has changed when looking back on our history, and one area of that is the history of nursing. As of 2020, we’ve seen just how important our healthcare services are around the world and what they do to ensure that we are all well looked after, should we ever need them in our hour of need. A lot has happened through the years, whether it’s from the 1800s, where Florence Nightingale helped many of the wounded from the Crimean War escape death to Mary Mahoney, who changed history by becoming the first-ever black licensed nurse in the US.
