As a result of our donation to Florida Southern College’s Nursing Program, Watson Clinic was honored with three "simulators" and beds that are to be used for student training. Wearing specially embroidered gowns, each simulator was named after an influential nurse of our choosing from medical history.

A sign hangs on the classroom wall spotlighting photos and biographies of each nurse who "paved the way for generations of nurses to come." There’s Clara Barton, who was known as the Angel of the Battlefield during the Civil War; Florence Nightingale, who is considered the founder of modern nursing; and Mary Eliza Mahoney, who became the first African American licensed nurse.

Special thanks to FSC’s Nursing Program for this meaningful recognition!
