Rationale: Religion played a significant role in the development of nursing. The Crusades saw the formation of several orders of knights who provided care to the sick and injured, including the Knights of St. Lazarus. In 1836, Theodore Fliedner reinstituted the Order of Deaconesses and opened a small hospital and training school in Kaiserswerth, Germany, where Florence Nightingale received her training. During the Crimean War (1854-1856), Ms. Nightingale administered to the soldiers following a request by Sir Sidney Herbert of the British War Department. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), Harriet Tubman (among other nurses) administered to the care of slaves and injured soldiers. World War II casualties created an acute shortage of care, and the Cadet Nurse Corps was established in response to the shortage of nurses.
