Celebrating #nationalnursesday and #nurseappreciationweek we recognize the selfless women who served in the time of need acting as nurses at field hospitals during the Civil War. Women like Dorothea Dix, Clara Barton and Cornelia Hancock. There are so many roles they played in recovering from battle. You can learn about the work they did at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center, Children of Gettysburg 1863 and Ticket to the Past - Unforgettable Journeys at the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station ™️ Thank you to all nurses everywhere for the work you do!
