Kirschling PhD, RN, FAAN For more than a century, the University of Maryland School of Nursing has been committed to excellence in educating nurses who have become experts in their fields, clinicians, educators, and leaders in Maryland, the nation, and around the globe. The School of Nursing was established as a hospital training school in 1889, emerged as an autonomous entity in 1952, and is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2014. As we celebrate our past and look to our future, we cannot forget the nurse pioneers who came before us. We value the legacy of those who carried the torch in the name of nursing, including Clara Barton, Dorothea Dix, Mary Mahoney, Florence Nightingale, Louisa Parsons, Lucile Petry, and Lillian Wald, whose names Evaluation Laboratory was expanded, as was our nursing are all etched on the façade of our building.

  • Jane A. Delano: Founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service a Story from Schuyler County’S History for March’S Women’S History Month
    Jane A. Delano: Founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service A story from Schuyler County’s history for March’s Women’s History Month Hundreds of thousands of nurses have served the American Red Cross, caring for military personnel and civilians in times of war and for communities in times of need. Jane Arminda Delano of Schuyler County is credited to this day with the success of the Red Cross Nursing Service. Jane Delano (De-LAY-no) was born in 1862 in the Townsend area in the Town of Dix. She attended a rural school in Dix and then Cook Academy boarding school in Montour Falls (now the New York State Academy of Fire Sciences). After graduating from Cook, she taught in rural schools before enrolling in the Bellevue Hospital Training School for Nurses in New York City, graduating in 1886. “I can’t say that anything romantic or sentimental determined me to be a nurse,” Delano once wrote, according to the American Red Cross. “Many young nurses start out with the statement that the sight of suffering impelled them to begin a career of alleviating distress, but please don’t say that my career was ever influenced by such sentiment.” Her reason for becoming a nurse was simple, she said. “I think the nurse’s profession is a fine one, and I like it.” In 1888, in the midst of a yellow fever epidemic, she was hired as superintendent of the Sandhills Hospital near Jacksonville, Florida. Appalled at hospital conditions she found there, Delano instituted a regime of elementary hygiene and placed screens around each patient’s bed because she rightly suspected mosquitos as fever carriers.

  • Chief Executive Officer Search
    CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEARCH 1 Canal Street • PO Box 335 • Seneca Falls, NY 13148 • womenofthehall.org • (315) 568-8060 T HE S EA RC H The Board of Directors of the National Women’s Hall of Fame invites applications and nominations of highly experienced, energetic, and creative candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Candidates should be attracted to the opportunity to provide highly transformative leadership for the nation’s premier institution honoring exceptional American women who embody the National Women’s Hall of Fame mission of “Showcasing great women . Inspiring all”. The National Women’s Hall of Fame (NWHF/the Hall) is expanding in every way – in size, in reach, in influence. To better accommodate these ambitions, the NWHF rehabilitated the historic 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill located on the Seneca-Cayuga branch of the Erie Canal in Seneca Falls, NY, and moved into it in 2020. This extraordinary achievement was completed over nine years with 10 million dollars of funding. The NWHF is eager to embrace the opportunities enabled by this new, expansive space, including honoring the importance and sense of “place” that Seneca Falls and the Erie Canal system have played in the history of the economic, social, and human rights movements of the United States of America. Following this historic move, in this historic year celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage, the National Women’s Hall of Fame now seeks a talented, proven leader dedicated to expanding the Hall’s national footprint, advancing its fundraising capacity, strengthening its organizational structure, and planning and implementing an ambitious agenda of new programs and exhibits.

WWW.FLWOMAN.COM PUBLISHER’S NOTE Dear Readers, Welcome to the October/November 2013 issue of Finger Lakes Woman, which is a new magazine produced by, for and about women in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Women have a long-standing and important tradition in the region, and they continue to have a significant connection with the Finger Lakes. For it was here in Seneca Falls, where women’s rights were born, grew stronger as an issue to embrace, and became part of our lives the 21st Century. From the first trailblazing women of the Finger Lakes, striving to achieve equality, to the present, where many women business owners and community leaders forge new directions for the Finger Lakes region. As today’s women of the Finger Lakes continue to contribute mightily to the economic, educational, social, community and spiritual life of our region, it is this spirit that is captured within Finger Lakes Woman. It is these women – as well as men – that we want to highlight on the pages of Finger Lakes Woman.

Without the support of my professors, my cohort, my family, and my friends, I would not have been able to write this thesis. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Elaine Frantz. Without her support, enthusiasm, and patience, this thesis would not have been possible. When I doubted myself and wondered if I was capable of seeing graduate school through, she encouraged me; when I worried over the Covid-19 pandemic and was unable to think about this thesis for a few weeks, she understood and told me to take the time I needed. I could not have done this without her. I would also like to thank my committee members: Dr. Kevin Adams, Dr. Matthew Crawford, and Dr. Tara Smith. They all provided me with helpful comments and criticism, bringing up things I would not have considered on my own, and encouraged me to think outside of the box.
