Nursing as a practice has evolved over time from men being the main care providers to a time when early nurses were considered witches to today where a nurse practitioner is a primary care provider working alongside physicians to offer care to diverse patients and health populations (Silva & Ferreira, 2021). From the Christianity era when men were caregivers and nursing was a religious vocation, to a time when women doing nursing for the ill and aged had to overcome the speculation of nursing being evil. The entry of Florence Nightingale christened as the lady with the lamp demonstrated the emergence of nursing as a profession where one needed to get trained to practice. Nightingale illustrated this approach by compiling her thoughts and published “Notes on Nursing in 1859 (McMnamin et al., 2019). Nightingale also illustrated the importance of nursing during the Crimean War leading to more women participating in caring for their husbands, brothers, and fathers hurt in the American Civil War. Nursing earned a respected position as profession with the successful opening of The Nightingale Training School for Nurses in England in 1860. By 1798, physicians who had recognized the role played by nurses initiated courses for those interested in nursing in the United States. For instance, the Nurse Society of Philadelphia trained women in caring for mothers during childbirth and postpartum period.
