When did the first nurse in the United States earn a Nursing diploma?

I'm just waiting for Mr. Know It All to show up and tell us why we're wrong. LOL

Danny, no one could be as dumb as I am. Not only am I dumb, I am the most foolish among fools. I was even born on April fool. I got the answer to this question right. Are you sure 1873 is the correct answer? Maybe I am just being fooled here too, just as I am fooled by my own foolish heart and mind most of the time. But in a way I am glad to be a fool. That way I know I don't have to be right, so I would rather let God be right all the time. Therefore whatever He says, whether it makes sense or not, I simply believe. As a fool, I will always obey God, who says: "Do not be wise in your own eyes," "Do not be wise in your own opinion, " Do not lean on your own understanding, " "Do not judge, that you be not judged, " "Condemn not, and you will not be condemned," and "Only believe." "Blessed are those having not seen yet believe. " "If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. " Why am I even writing all these things? What I am doing I don't even know. At least I am smart enough to know that I am a fool, and wise enough to acknowledge and confess it. Lord have mercy on me and all who see themselves as dumb fools. Amen!

John Bisong, 😒

Poor excuse of an explanation👎...lazy!😳

Knew this one!!!

I guessed and got it right...lol.

Actually knew this.

Janice Lea Vanlandingham, Florence Nightingale was the Crimean War. Clara Barton was the Civil war and a self taught nurse. She help to form formal nursing schools. Clara was also the founder of the American Red Cross.

I picked 1803! Too early!

Lucky guess on my part. Yay me.

Lucked out on this answer.

Went by logic

I was under the impression that nurses finally got degrees after the civil war. Probably because of nurse Nightingale.

Had to be earlier!

Keith Hennessey, I have been doing respiratory so long I worked with Ms. Nightingale. Heck of a good nurse hard to drink under the table and cussed like a sailor. Fine woman.

and they have been making my life a living hell since.

Don Racette, is that photo of you? Tough and handsome
