A few years ago I came across a wonderful non-profit organization called Nurses House.  Nurse’s work very hard and make fair wages, but what happens when a nurse is injured or becomes sick?  We often don’t have the ability to replace our income, or have a huge savings account to cover our living expenses if we’re off work for an extended period of time. Whether you’ve had a serious illness or injury, you know that things happen in an instant, and one day you may be the nurse in need.  Nurses House has been a life saver for countless nurses and deserves the recognition and support from all of us.

Nurses everywhere are indebted to Emily Bourne.  In 1922, through a charitable bequest, she created a respite place for registered nurses that became known as Nurses House.  The beachfront home, a stately mansion in Babylon, Long Island, could hold up to sixty residents at any given time.  It was often filled to capacity during busy summer months as accommodations were peaceful, restful and provided privacy to nurses that came to stay.  As times and needs changed, the property was eventually sold, but the funds were used to establish a national fund for nurses in need.
