...The second character is Clara Barton from the story “Clara Barton.” The conflict she had to overcome was man versus society. This changed who she was because it exposed her to the brutal parts of the world where even light can’t get to or escape and war and terror surrounded her. Clara Barton was an American nurse, suffragist, and humanitarian who is remembered greatly for establishing the American Red Cross. Clara Barton would serve as an American nurse although until her tragic death in 1912. Barton had done humanitarian and medical work in several foreign wars and even the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War.

...Clara Barton Clara Barton was a self-taught nurse, teacher, humanitarian, writer, philanthropist, lobbyist, and the founder of the American Red Cross. Barton’s nick-name was known as the “Angel of the Battlefield” for her volunteering efforts during the Civil War. Barton was a strong, tough, and compassionate woman, and if not for those characteristics, she may have not had set such a huge impact to those who were fighting in battle (Anderson 4). Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born on December 25, on Christmas day of 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts, and was the youngest of five children. Her parents’ names were Sarah Stone Barton and Stephen Barton. Barton was educated in public schools and began teaching at the age of fifteen. In 1850, she attended...

...Clarissa Harlowe Barton, nicknamed “the angel of the battlefield”, was a hospital nurse of the American Civil War who would rise up to become the founder of the American Red Cross (britannica.com). In April 1857, the month in which the war would begin, 39 year old Clara Barton working as a temporary copyist for the U.S. Patent Office, which was then located in Washington D.C. Upon hearing of the Baltimore Riot of April 19 in which Southern sympathizers attacked Union soldiers en route to the capital, Barton rushed to care for the wounded troops, carrying food, medicine, and other vital supplies. She would soon resign from her position as temporary copyist, devoting herself to supporting the war effort in any way possible (Oates 3). Regarded as one of the most honored women in American history, she was involved in many major battles, risking her life countless times to aid wounded soldiers. Barton showed an unusual initiative at the outbreak of the war in the First Battle of Bull Run, bringing it upon herself to collect supplies and to distribute them to the wounded (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia). Touched by the sight of the many neglected wounds of soldiers in the First Battle of Bull Run, she desire to do...

...Clara Barton “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them”.- Clara Barton As the Founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton forever left her footprint on American History and supported females around the world in her role within The Women’s Rights Movement. Understanding the risk and danger one may face when going against societal norms of her time, Barton rose above the average female role and pursued a career in helping soldiers wounded within the war, becoming known as “The Angel on the Battlefield” (“Who is”). Clara Barton was an inspirational humanitarian who dedicated her life to assisting others, as she grew up taking care of her younger...

...Professional Roles and Values A) Functional Differences: The functional differences between a regulatory agency, like the Texas Board of Nursing and a Professional Nursing Organization, like with Texas Nurses Association, are many. Even though both agencies support nursing, they do in different ways. The mission statement of the Texas Board of Nursing is as follows: “The mission of the Texas Board of Nursing is to protect and promote the welfare of the people of Texas by ensuring that each person holding a license as a nurse in the State of Texas is competent to practice safely” ("Mission and Values," n.d., para. 1). One of the primary roles of the BON is license issues. They issue and renew licenses for nurses in the State of Texas. They issue all licenses to graduates of approved nursing education programs. All nurses are required to renew their licenses on a biennial basis with evidence of required continuing education. In the State of Texas, RN’s must have twenty hours of CEU’s every two years for this renewal process. The BON enforces the NPA (Nurse Practice Act) and nursing education, conducting investigations of complaints against nurses and adjudicating complaints ("Licensure Renewal," n.d.). Texas Nurses Association (TNA) is a professional nursing organization with supports and advocates for nurses. The mission statement of the TNA is as follows: “Advancing the nursing profession through leadership, collaboration, advocacy and innovation” ("Mission," n.d., para...

...The American Civil War was one of the bloodiest wars in American History, it marked one of the most permanent changes in US history. The war began on April 12, 1861 and ended on April 18, 1865, lasting a little over four years. It was fought between the Northern states, Union states, and the Southern states, Confederate states. It all started because of some differences between the states, such as; the idea of slavery, state rights, tariffs, and trade. The war began when Confederate forces bombarded Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay, South Carolina, which was being controlled by the Union. There were approximately six thousand battles and engagements fought during the war. The bloodiest battle during the Civil War was Gettysburg, with 51,000 casualties. There were not even half as many casualties in Shiloh, which had almost twenty-four thousand casualties. Vicksburg had the least amount of casualties, with almost twenty thousand casualties. Southern states started to secede from the Union even before the war. There were a total of eleven states that seceded, those states were; South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and lastly Tennessee. Though these states didn’t secede at the same time, it was still a big deal because at the time secession wasn’t legal, but it also hadn’t been ruled illegal yet. It was ruled illegal after the war. Many families and their...

...Unit IV: Continuing Sectionalism, Civil War, And Reconstruction. 1853 To 1877 1. Kansas-Nebraska Act, 1854 – A Bill introduced by Steven Douglas to organize the Nebraska territory. He hoped to build a transcontinental railroad making Chicago the terminus, but they could not do this until the Indians were cleared away and the land was in control. Nebraska would presumably become a free state due to the Missouri Compromise but to please the South Douglas argued that the territories should be left open to popular sovereignty. Douglas pushed for the bill and won, therefore the Missouri Compromise was repealed and the North was in an uproar. 2. Birth of the Republican Party- Made up of former Free Soilers, Conscience Whigs, and “Anti-Nebraska” Democrats. Presented themselves as the party of freedom though they were not abolitionist, but they believed that slavery be kept out of the territories. The Republican Party appealed too many to voters who not only disagreed with slavery but also wanted to keep slavery out of their states. 3. Stephan A. Douglas- Known as the “Little Giant,” he was the most prominent spokesman of the Young American movement. He held a series of state offices before being elected for the United States Senate at the age of 29. Douglas wanted to get on with the development of the nation; to build railroads, acquire new territory, and expand trade. This made him suggest and push for the Kansas-Nebraska Act. 4. Popular Sovereignty- Also known as...

...Medicine during the Civil War "When the war began, the United States Army medical staff consisted of only the surgeon general, thirty surgeons, and eighty-three assistant surgeons. Of these, twenty-four resigned to "go South," and three other assistant surgeons were promptly dropped for "disloyalty." Thus the medical corps began its war service with only eighty seven men. When the war ended in 1865, more than eleven thousand doctors had served or were serving, many of these as acting assistant surgeons, uncommissioned and working under contract, often on a part-time basis. They could wear uniforms if they wished and were usually restricted to general hospitals away from the fighting front. The Confederate Army began by taking the several state militias into service, each regiment equipped with a surgeon and an assistant surgeon, appointed by the state governors. The Confederate Medical Department started with the appointment on May 4 of Daniel De Leon, one of three resigned United States surgeons, as acting surgeon general. After a few weeks he was replaced by another acting surgeon general, who on July 1,1861, was succeeded by Samuel Preston Moore. He took the rank of colonel and stayed on duty until the collapse of the Confederacy. Dr. Moore, originally a Charlestonian, had served twenty seven years in the United States Army. He has been described as brusque and autocratic, a martinet. He was also very hard working and determined, and he was progressive in his military-medical...

...Emergency Medical Services: The Evolution Behind the System Russell Keogler CED 595: Project Seminar May 3, 2011 Dr. Richard Gatteau Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the evolutionary process of the emergency medical services system. The research explores the impact of war and prominent military figures on the development of emergency medical services as well as civilian efforts made to establish emergency services within the public sector. The research also discusses the ways in which major medical advancements and various reports and acts of legislation played a crucial part in the development of the modern day EMS system. Overall, results show that the EMS system as we know it today is a fairly modern creation based on centuries’ worth of ideas and discoveries. Introduction In modern day America the three digits 9-1-1 signify an accessible lifeline for individuals in need of emergency medical attention. The vast system is accessible from any telephone line and provides emergency services to even the most remote locations of the country. However, in spite of the simplistic process to initiate services, the emergency medical system is very complex. Thousands of independent agencies working in different capacities must coordinate efforts to insure that the system runs efficiently. Without effective cooperation by organizations the system would undeniably fail to meet the expectations of those calling for medical aid (Limmer &...
