<h2>Exhibition<span>Picturing Nursing as a Career</span></h2>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="main">
|
|
<p>Nursing as a profession began about 150 years ago led by social reformers, like Florence Nightingale, in the United Kingdom and the United States.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A career in nursing offered new opportunities for women such as economic independence and freedom from constricting domestic lives. The postcards promote opportunities for service and travel to distant lands in the military or the Red Cross, while public health nursing offered the chance to engage in meaningful service to the community.</p>
