    FRAMED U.S. POSTAGE STAMP FOR NURSES AND THE NURSING PROFESSION
    This stamp was issued on December 28, 1961 in Washington, D.C.  In 1798, New York Hospital attending surgeon Dr. Valentine Seaman (1770-1817) recognized the need for a specially trained group of women to assist the doctors at his hospital. As a result, he began one of America’s first nurse training programs. Seaman instructed a class of about 24 women in anatomy, physiology, childcare, and mid-wifery.
    During the Civil War, Clara Barton helped bring the role of nurses to prominence. In 1881, she established the American Red Cross.
