I expressed my research by recreating a 1860s nursing uniform from scratch by sewing without a pattern to use. I composed research regarding the average women in 1860 for my measurements, used similar fabrics with some additions, and included key elements, stitches, and add-ons of the nursing uniforms worn in 1860's.

I decided to show what I have learned by writing a paper for English comparing and contrasting nursing in 1860 vs modern nursing. In my paper, I also placed Florence Nightingale in the context of today and analyzed her opinions of modern nursing and if she would still be a nurse today.

I tied the rest of my projects into American Studies by composing an informative essay about the drastic changes regarding subtopics of gender inclusion, educational practices, and daily operations. Within my essay, I gave background information about the healthcare profession, described nursing in 1860, analyzed changes made in nursing from 1860 until now, and describing what nursing has grew to become today.
