NMRTC Bremerton Recognizes National Nurses Week/Navy Nurse Corps birthday

Reflection on Serving...National Nurses Week, annually celebrated May 6 to May 12, and fittingly wrapping up on the birthday of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern nursing, is being recognized all week at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton. Immediately following the week is the Navy Nurse Corps birthday on May 13, recognizing 112 years of delivering patient-centered care from bed side to battle field.

Then, as now, caring for the sick and injured, establishing sanitary methods, supporting operational readiness during the Crimean War (1853-56) are legacies established as nursing standards by Nightingale and notable commitment by the Nurse Corps against the pandemic outbreak.

Lt. Daria Seipeltrya and the other approx. 60 Nurse Corps and 80 civilian nurses at NMRTC Bremerton have been tasked with proactively handling multiple assignment to screen, triage, and test for COVID-19, as well as continue daily needed support for acute-care patients U.S. Navy Graphic by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Ryan Riley/Released)
