The Proud History of Nursing and How Cambridge Carries It Into the Future

Nursing did not become the heart of healthcare by accident. Generation after generation, nurses turned compassion into a science and caring into a credentialed profession. They established the first formal nursing schools, proving that skilled care measurably saves lives.
