This project was a teaching project for nursing students to educate them on how to cope with a patient death and what to expect when that situation comes in their career. The format for the education is a poster which will be displayed in the grace center. The idea came from the fact that student nurses are not exposed to a patient death and are also not prepared to cope with emotionally difficult situations like that. This poster stressed the importance of utilizing therapeutic coping mechanisms and mitigating negative ones. Also addressed were the responsibilities of postmortem care and cultural considerations regarding death. The main point of this project was to get student nurses to focus on developing positive coping skills prior to encountering a difficult situation in their career.

During the First and Second World Wars, the totality of global war and the involvement of the United States necessitated the use of American women within military medical services as nurses. Military nursing served as a catalyst for professionalizing nursing as well as the entrance women into US military jobs. This thesis explores American women’s military nursing roles during WWI and WWII within the historical context of the precedence set for female nurses’ involvement in wartime medical service in both the American Civil War and the Spanish Civil War. In so doing, it seeks to answer specific research questions focused on nurse’s wartime experiences, the formality of their role, and public perceptions of female nurses. I will examine the change over time of these issues and reasons for their evolution.
