As I read through the most influential nurses in history the late Mary Breckenridge caught my eye. I find her story very intriguing and the contributions she made in nursing touch close to my heart. In 1925 she founded Frontier Nursing Services, which initially provided care to women and children in the desolate poverty-ridden eastern Kentucky. Breckenridge and other midwives she recruited would travel in all types of treacherous weather via horseback or on foot through the Appalachian Mountains to provide professional prenatal care and assist deliveries. Care was provided to women and children who once had no resources other than family and nearest neighbors. No woman was ever denied services; fees were very low and clients could use the barter

“Mixed cultural signals have perpetuated certain stereotypes…”(Page 372, paragraph 2, line 1). The Myth of the Latian Woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria, by Judith Ortiz Cofer is about how Judith Ortiz Cofer was discriminated because she is a Latina Woman. She describes about several people treating her differently than others, through song, through looks, and through sexual thoughts and actions towards her. Even after all the discriminating actions persisted upon her, she still pursues on to help others learn that Latinas are not always like the movies say they are or should be like. Judith Ortiz Cofer does this by writing poetry and novels. “My personal goal in my public life is try to replace the old pervasive stereotypes and myths about

Nevertheless, she also a great role model for the community, she participate in several outreach activities, which give her the opportunity to further connect with others, exemplifying her generosity and care as she model God- giving spirit.

In the wake of a natural disaster, people are forced to realize they may not make it out alive; this was the thought of over one hundred and eighty patients who were at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina hit. Sheri Fink’s Deadly Choices at Memorial tells the story of what doctors and nurses had to do when the hospital, which was being used as a shelter, lost all power and had to evacuate all one hundred and eighty patients in August of 2005. Usually most people have time to think about their choices so they are certain they are making the correct one, but in a time of crisis the doctors and nurses on staff at Memorial had to make harsh decisions about who of the one hundred and eighty patients they would evacuate, who would go first, who would go last and who would have to stay behind. Fink’s article makes

Because of her preaching and lectures about temperance, she was able to attend Albion College for two years. She then studied at Boston University’s School of Theology, being the only woman in her class. She struggled there, but she finally graduated in 1878.

While she was there, she earned her M.D. in 1886 from Boston University Medical School.

Annie Wittenmyer has impacted my life greatly. I really like to help people too. I stick up for kids that get made fun of at school, and even though that’s not the civil war, it may like a war for them. For them, someone making a mean comment to him or her, is like a bullet going through a soldier. I stick up for them though, and hang out with them too. I also am currently working on making a donation towards kids with cleft lip/cleft palate. It’s going slowly, but surely. I can only thank Annie Wittenmyer for that. She inspired me to help others who needed

But, should be well versed on the crisis protocols, and how or when they are determined. This would certainly include any organization that would be taxed by the income of patients, abundance of displaced families, the possibility of overcrowded roadways, and other emergency resources that may be called upon such as the Red Cross or Salvation Army. In past events, the community seems to be well versed in updating area supports, almost to the fault of over

On her part, Cheryl Wetzstein in her article “Lowering Divorce Rates Urged As National Goal” argues that legislation should be put in place to checkmate the rate of divorce in the United States especially for a family with children. According to Wetzstein, the problem of divorce and its effect on children is a national goal which demands critical evaluation on the part of the government. Wetzstein claims that the effect of divorce touches every aspect of life. According to a study shared by Wetzstein, children from separated homes exhibit emotional, physical and mental problems; are easily exposed to crime and drugs; perform poorly academically, and are likely to commit suicide. Wetzstein states that seeing the unfortunate impact divorce has on these children, the government, as a matter of urgency, should come up with laws that would reduce family separation; this would not only preserve the future of the children but also saves government lots of money (2000).

It is no secret that America holds extensive opportunities for its citizens. Those living in America can enjoy the freedom established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Many flee to America as a source of comfort and new beginnings. However, recently a governmental epidemic presented itself. Programs and institutions funded by the government are being shut down due to budget problems. These institutions hold vital importance in our daily lives. Government funding allows nurses, EMT's, paramedics, and drivers to renew and create their licenses so they can practice their job legally. Without the renewing of licenses, hospitals may experience understaffing. More people may die or receive injuries as a result of lack of paramedics.
