Or Happy International Nurse day…

I wanted to make sure and wish this important lady a great birthday. Without her knowledge, skill and sheer determination I and many others would out of job! LOL

She crossed barriers, knocked down walls and moved worlds. Way to go Flo! Thanks for pavin’ the way.

Florence Nightingale – encyclopedia article about Florence Nightingale.

The latest installment of Change of Shift is up over at Florence Dot Com with Florence, er.. I mean Barbara(SafetyNurse).

Barbara, sometimes called BO, does a great job. She claims that she sometimes ‘channels’ Florence Nightengale (Flo) in her blogging. I think Flo showed up.

I finally submitted an entry, even if it wasn’t that great of a post.

As always a BIG THANK YOU to Kim over at Emergiblog for getting the CoS party started!

This day in history in 1854, during the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale and a staff of 38 women volunteer nurses, trained by Nightingale were sent to treat the war wounded.
