Nurse & #WWII veteran Elsie Chin Yuen Seetoo was born #OTD in 1918 & is 108 today! The first Chinese-American to serve in the US Army Nurse Corps. She received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2020. ..🧡 #WomenInSTEM #Nursing #Veterans
A poignant moment showing an elderly Elsie Chin Yuen Seetoo (1918–2026) sitting in a wheelchair next to a large archival display of her wartime service. Positioned on the left, she wears an iconic white and gold military side cap, a light blue collared shirt beneath a tan knit cardigan, and classic wire-rimmed glasses. She smiles gently toward the camera with fingers on her right hand bandaged. To her right stands a prominent black-and-white exhibition portrait of her younger self in uniform, showcasing her thick, curly dark hair and a determined expression. Below this historic image, a white informational plaque details her pioneering achievements as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. The setting is a modern, brightly lit museum or gallery interior featuring clean walls and polished dark wooden paneling. The composition creates a powerful juxtaposition between youth and age, reflecting a reflective, celebratory mood that honors her profound, lifelong historical legacy.

A black-and-white photo of Estelle Massey Osborne (1901–1981), a trailblazing Black nurse and educator. She stands with her body angled slightly to the right, looking toward the camera with a warm, confident smile. Her dark hair is styled in an elegant, structured updo. She wears a textured, dark-patterned floral jacket or dress with a wide collar, adorned with a large, decorative floral corsage pinned to her left lapel. The corsage features light-colored flowers, dark leaves, and several long, trailing ribbons. She is also wearing ornate, sparkling cluster earrings. The background is simple, showing a light-colored wall with vertical wood paneling or door frames, suggesting a formal indoor setting. The lighting is bright and direct, casting a soft shadow behind her. The overall mood is one of dignity and celebration, capturing a woman who broke racial barriers as the first Black nurse to earn a master’s degree and a leader in integrating the US nursing profession.

Florence Nightingale is universally recognized as the founder of modern #nursing. She elevated nursing from an unskilled, low-status occupation into a disciplined, respected profession grounded in evidence-based practice. She was also a brilliant mathematician. She died #OTD in 1910. #WomenInSTEM
An iconic black-and-white portrait of Florence Nightingale (1820–1910), the founder of modern nursing. This mid-shot photograph captures her from the chest up, positioned slightly angled to the left while her gaze is fixed directly at the viewer with a steady, serious, and determined expression. She has a youthful face with smooth features and dark hair parted down the middle, tucked neatly under a delicate, ruffled white lace cap that frames her face. Her attire reflects her Victorian era and professional stature, featuring a dark, heavy-fabric dress with a high, wide collar of intricate white lace. The lighting is soft but directional, highlighting her clear eyes and the fine textures of the lace against the dark tones of her dress. The background is a soft, neutral gradient, keeping the focus entirely on her. The composition is classic and dignified, evoking a mood of quiet strength, intelligence, and the revolutionary spirit of a woman who transformed healthcare through data, sanitation, and compassionate care.

The Totally Improbable, Completely True Life of Betsi Cadwaladr, Welsh War Nurse

On a winter’s night in 1854, two steel-willed women regarded each other with mutual dislike across a desk located on a scrap of misery-soaked land. Two more different people there could not have been:...

After the war, she systematically translated vital medical texts, including "A Barefoot Doctor's Manual," which helped integrate Western and traditional Chinese medicine practices for global public health resource materials. #WomenInSTEM #Nursing #Veterans #WWII
A black-and-white historical photograph of Elsie Chin Yuen Seetoo (1918–2026), a pioneering Chinese-American nurse who broke institutional barriers as the first Chinese-American woman commissioned into the U.S. Army Nurse Corps during World War II. Seated outdoors on a rustic wooden bench, she is posed from the thighs up, leaning slightly back while turning her body to face the camera. She smiles warmly and confidently, sporting a short, neatly styled dark bob haircut. She wears a crisp, long-sleeved military utility uniform shirt with structural breast pockets and a buttoned collar. In her lap, she balances an open notebook or folder, holding a pen poised to write. Her military utility cap rests securely over her knee. The background shows the weathered wooden siding and shuttered windows of a military building or barracks. The composition captures an intimate, relaxed moment during wartime, evoking a resilient and capable mood that underlines her historic service in the China-Burma-India theater.

Jane Delano was a key architect of organized, professional #nursing in the US. + Superintendent, US Army Nurse Corps (1909-12) + Oversaw the mobilization of 20,000+ US nurses for duty during #WWI + Founder, American Red Cross Nursing Service She was born #OTD in 1862. #WomensHistoryMonth #WHM
A formal oil portrait painting of Jane Arminda Delano (1862–1919), the pioneering American nurse and founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service, framed in an ornate gold frame. Painted in a realistic, classical style (signed "SHELSON" in the upper left corner), the artwork depicts her standing full-length against a dark, subdued background. She wears the traditional early 20th-century American Red Cross nurse uniform: a crisp white long dress with long sleeves and a high collar, cinched at the waist with a white belt, and a distinctive white nurse's cap featuring a red cross emblem at the front. Over her shoulders is a long, flowing dark navy or black cape lined in red, fastened at the neck with a prominent Red Cross insignia brooch. Her expression is calm, dignified, and authoritative, with light eyes gazing directly forward, conveying strength, compassion, and leadership. The overall tone is somber yet reverent, with rich dark shadows and warm highlights emphasizing her role as a key figure in professionalizing nursing, mobilizing thousands of nurses during World War I, and establishing organized disaster relief nursing in the United States.

It's not just nursing; they're going after Physical Therapy. These degrees take years to earn, and they want to cap higher education loans for these professions. Spread this far and wide so Trumpers get angry too. #nursing #physicaltherapy

grocerystorefamous (kim dexter) - Trumps Department of Education just said nursing is no no longer a professional degree. Let's be real is about the fact that the field is mostly women and minorities.  [pic of nurses]
