What is the common denominator for nursing leaders across history?
1. They desired to obtain power in their job positions.
2. They were all women of wealth and influence.
3. They cared deeply about the society in which they lived.
4. They were focused on caring for people in hospitals.
Correct Answer: 3
Across history, nursing leaders have cared deeply about the society in which they lived. Many of these leaders did not have an official "job position" and power was focused on caring, not on influence over others. Whereas some nurse leaders were wealthy (Nightingale), others were from poor surroundings (Truth). Nursing leaders have focused on care in hospitals, homes, communities, and across the nation and world.
