On Memorial Day....remembering nurses
Please visit the “nurses
section” at Arlington Cemetery
The granite statue of a nurse in uniform,
sculptured by Frances Rich, honors the nurses who served in the U.S. armed
forces in World War I, many of whom rest among the hundreds of nurses buried in
Section 21 -- also called the "Nurses Section."

Must read for maternal/child nurses and all those interested in nursing history
A must read for maternal/child nurses as well as all nurses interested in nursing history.
The book is written by an Exceptional Nurse....
"This is the captivating story of my great-grandmother Alice Ada Wood Ellis - who was a single mother with two small children - Myrtle who was 2 ½ years old and Marie who was a 6 month-old baby. She traveled to Seattle in 1900 on a locomotive steam train to join the Alaska-Yukon-Klondike Gold Rush Stampede. She built a home in Green Lake. Soon after she placed two beds in her front parlor in her home and helped women with birthing. She fufilled her calling as a pioneer midwife-nurse. This epic saga includes life in 1895 nursing schools, train robbers, birthing in the home, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, women's suffrage, bubonic plague and unclaimed children. Stories from the 1918 Great Pandemic Flu and the Great Depression conclude this remarkable journey. This is Alice's story."
