we start at the alexandria history museum. during the civil war in the 1860's, this building, like many others in alexandria, was used as a hospital. nursing, as a practice, before the civil war, was used as a punishment. women who were arrested for public drunkenness or prostitution were punished by working as a nurse for a week or. -- two. during the crimean war, nursing as a practice became more of an occupation for women, and during the civil war many women came over to help teach others how this practice of nursing could be used to help soldiers. during this time, the practice of nursing was becoming more formalized. the battle of manassas took place about 20 miles in this direction. soldiers were brought into alexandria to be healed by these nurses. when we think about nurses during the civil war, people like dorothea dix might come to mind, and she was essential in helping the field takeoff during the war. she was able to appoint 15%, or 3000 of the medical staff during the war, including nurses here in alexandria. nurs
