1 In the chapter's opening paragraph, Dr. Sandra Lewenson states that studying history provides us with opportunity. A nursing student was inspired by the story of Mary Breckinridge, who in 1925 founded the Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky. The history of Breckinridge gave that student her opportunity. She traveled to Kentucky to personally find out about the Frontier Nursing Service as soon as she could. How can the knowledge of nursing's past provide you with an opportunity?

2 Most nurses in the late nineteenth century wanted nurses to be licensed by the state before they could practice nursing. However, Florence Nightingale disagreed with the concept of nurse licensure. What are some of the benefits of licensure for nurses? Why didn't Nightingale want nurses to be licensed?
