NMRTC Bremerton Recognizes Navy Nurse Corps birthday

description

Summary

Year of the Nurse... The Navy Nurse Corps birthday on May 13 recognizes 112 years of delivering patient-centered care from bed side to battle field.
The Nurse Corps anniversary annually follows the National Nurses Week, celebrated May 6 to May 12, which fittingly wraps up on the birthday of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern nursing, with both noteworthy events recognized at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton.
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 sustained commitments by the Nurse Corps against the pandemic outbreak.
Lt. Cmdr. Sondra Jolly and the other approx. 60 Nurse Corps, as well as 80 civilian nurses at NMRTC Bremerton, are 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)

NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
