  • A Tribute to Departed Colleagues
    The Nightingale Tribute A tribute to departed colleagues American Nurses Association 2021 Nightingale Tribute Nurses in Memoriam On the Saturday morning of June 23, 2005, a meeting of the 2005 House of Delegates sanctioned the Nightingale Tribute as a way of honoring nurses at the end of their life’s journey. With the consent of the house, ANA adopted this tribute as its official ceremony for honoring nurses who are no longer with us. Nurses present at the house were asked to step forward to the microphone and prepare at the appointed time to say the nurse’s name and the name of the CMA in which the nurse held membership. ANA has thus instituted this “Nurses in Memoriam” book, which is displayed, here at, ANA Headquarters 8515 Georgia Avenue Ste. 400 Silver Spring, MD 20910 At every ANA Membership Assembly there will be a white rose and white candle placed before the dais. It is the custom, approved by the 2005 house that anytime the house is in session, the white candle will be lit and will remain lit until the house adjourns. American Nurses Association 2021 Nightingale Tribute During the 2005 house, Barbara Blakeney, ANA House of Delegates Chair, invited Janice Jones, President of the Kansas State Nurses Association, and Duane Jaeger of the Kansas State Nurses Association, to the lower dais to assist with the ceremony. Janice is the architect of the tribute and Duane is the architect of the poem which is included in the tribute. American Nurses Association 2021 Nightingale Tribute Nursing is a calling, a lifestyle, a way of living.

[Transcribed from the movie by Tara Carreon] Kurt & Courtney [Nick Broomfield] At 8:40 a.m. on April 8, 1994, Kurt Cobain's body was found. He had been killed by a shotgun wound to the head. The verdict was suicide. The medical examiner in Kurt's case knew Courtney well before she got married to Kurt. In fact, they were pretty good friends and used to go out barhopping together. This should be reason for someone else to handle the examination. Shortly after this potential conflict of interest was revealed, he left the King County medical examiner's office and took a job in a small town in Florida. Coincidence? I think not. -- http://www.angelfire.com/nv/boddah/facts.html The Seattle medical examiner who examined Cobain's body, Dr. Nicholas Hartshorne, insisted that all of the evidence pointed to a suicide. However, many have questioned his opinion because he once promoted concerts for Nirvana, to which he replied, "It's leap of faith, that someone who once promoted concerts for bands would now risk his job, prison, and public disgrace, in order to cover up a murder.
