History of Nursing

     When considering nursing for a career, you probably wonder about the history of nursing. Nursing has certainly come a long way from its roots, and has transformed in many ways. From the 1800's when hospitals were staffed by convicts and widows, to the modern day nurse who is professionally trained and evaluated, nursing has certainly advanced over the years.
