National Nurses Week: Many roles, one profession

National Nurses Week: Many roles, one profession

Capt. Darren Damiani
435th Medical Operations Squadron

National Nurses Week recognizes the impact nurses and medical technicians make to the lives and health of their patients. It is May 6 to 12 each year as a commemoration to Florence Nightingale, whose birthday is May 12. She was the founder of professional nursing and it was her performance as a nurse 150 years ago during the Crimean War that forever altered professional nursing. The changes she implemented in the care of the wounded in the spring of 1854 reduced the mortality rate from 42 to 2 percent. That pattern of excellent care continues today in military healthcare.
