Happy Birthday Florence Nightingale!

The "Lady with the Lamp" will always be remembered for leading nurses in the care of thousands of wounded soldiers in the Crimean War.  Florence was born in Italy on May 12, 1820, though her family opposed her desire to devote her life to nursing, she did it anyway. She campaigned for sanitation and better health care for everyone. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was said that Florence reduced the death rate from 42% to 2% by making improvements in hygiene and sanitation. 

Florence Nightingale 

May 12, 1820 - August 13, 1910

Florence's most tremendous accomplishment was making nursing a respectable profession for women. Florence published over 200 books, reports and pamphlets.  To this day, her books and other writings continue to be an asset for nurses and health professionals.  She died at the age of 90 and was one of the most famous and instrumental women of the 19th century.

Today we remember the Pioneer of modern nursing and the Lady with the Lamp.
Happy Birthday, tomorrow, Florence!

National Nurses Week

Celebrated annually from May 6th - May 12th, National Nurses Week gives us the opportunity to recognize the nurses that take care of us and show our appreciation to them.

"National Nurse Week" was first observed in 1954, based on a bill introduced in Congress by Rep. Frances Payne Bolton of Ohio, an advocate for nursing and public health.  The year marked the 100th anniversary of nursing profession pioneer Florence Nightingale's mission to treat wounded soldiers during the Crimean War.  But it was not until 1974 that the White House and President Nixon proclaimed that National Nurses Week be celebrated.  We are glad that President Nixon helped declare a week to recognize all of your hard work.

If it weren't for nurses, who would be there in the middle of the night to check our vitals and make sure we are okay?  Thank you for your patience, dedication, commitment, passion, and nurture.  Whether you are a trauma nurse, cardiac nurse, CNA, LPN, or RN or in nursing school; YOU are greatly appreciated.

Still comfortable after a 12 hour shift! 

Finally--a good quality pair of scrub pants for an affordable price! I have a very slim build and every other pair of scrub pants that I have tried need adjusting every so often throughout the day. Not these! These stay in place no matter how hectic the day gets. I've worn mine for a few months now and the color has not faded, the material is not worn. (I work at a wildlife rehabilitation center full time, 40-50 hours a week). Really can't say enough good things about these pants!

Finally a pant that fits as good as it looks!
This pant fits great. I love all the fashion stitching, especially the knee pleats. All the fashion of Koi without the hefty price. My only observation is, I'm 5'4"ish and the regular is a tad long, so I ordered the petite for my next color and they fit perfect!
