Before disappearing during an attempt to circumnavigate the world, Amelia Earhart once declared that “[the] most difficult thing [to do] is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.” Although most people would not claim this amidst preparation for a 29,000-mile-long flight, the principle Earhart states carries over to nearly all matters in life—including freeing oneself of confinement. Again, in this situation most people would agree with Earhart’s opinion about the difficulty surrounding the ‘decision to act’—except authors Kate Chopin and John Updike. In their eyes, deciding to act is easy enough; the acting itself is what brings about the most difficulty. Although Updike and Chopin both expose the necessity of breaking free from

You all know the story of how on July 19, 1937 the iconic first female aviator disappeared into the Pacific during her flight around the globe. Well, according to an article covered by Science Daily on March 7th, professor Richard Jantz of the University of Tennessee used his forensic anthropologic expertise to match skeletal remains found in the South Pacific to Amelia Earhart.
Nursing, and everything that it entails, cannot be easily described in just one simple word or phrase. It goes beyond the meaning of a profession and the stereotypical definition of treating the ill.

Therefore, it is a career that requires dedication, passion, critical thinking, and knowledge. It demands commitment and an understanding of its core values and concepts, as well as the nurse’s own personal philosophy and principles.
