Nursing is not only concerned about health and functioning but with quality of living and dying, lived experience, and universal lived experiences of health.
Nurses help people figure out what they need to go on, what they see as possible, how they want to change, how they can move toward their hopes and dreams.
Nurses are men and women who are responsible (with others) for the safety and recovery of acutely ill or injured people, health maintenance of the healthy, and treatment of life-threatening emergencies in a wide range of health care settings.

Slowly but surely, the members of FANY broke down basic prejudices that were held in certain sections of society — a society that was still dominated by men and one where some women — the Suffragettes — had done a lot to turn many against women’s rights.
