If I say Kleenex, you'll think of 'tissue'. If I say Ajax, you'll think of 'scouring powder'. If I say Victaulic, you'll think of 'stainless steel pipe couplings' (well, maybe a small portion of you will). But if I say Florence Nightingale, you'll definitely think of Nurses! So who was this woman whose brand name has become synonymous with nurses everywhere?
Florence Nightingale was
the pioneer of modern nursing. Normally I would recap what I just read on Wikipedia (I have a triple major in Wikimedicine, Wikihistory, and Wikiplagiarism), but I'm currently holding Rory with one arm and typing with my left thumb. So here's a link to this amazing lady.

My guess is that we've had about three dozen nurses since we've been in the NICU. And here are just a few of the modern day Florence Nightingale's we've had the distinct pleasure of meeting while in the NICU.
Nurse McLinda! You've already met her, she was Rory's day nurse on the day of her surgery.
Nurse Alex - She was Rory's night nurse the night before and after surgery.
Nurse Caitlyn - She has had many adventures with Rory (or misadventures, remember the bounce seat with Christine?) She also braided Rory a cute little head band.
