Clara Barton never married. She dedicated her life to helping others in need through her bravery and courage. America owes a debt of gratitude to Clara Barton for founding this organization. Through the American Red Cross many citizens have been helped through the years of tragedy our country has endured.
Nursing today certainly differs from the days of Clara Barton. Much more schooling is required to get your degree in nursing. There are more stringent rules in joining the military and joining the military medical profession. Technology has also helped to shape the field. Access to better, more advanced equipment, not to mention sterile working environments, has helped to advance the practice from water, rags, ether, and a saw. Education has also changed over the years. In Barton’s day, it was all on the job training. Now, nursing students can almost be “battle ready” by the time they graduate. This preparedness makes for better quality nurses when they leave school.
