Recruitment poster, World War II Most professional<unk> es employ specialised<unk> s. They are often organised as a distinct<unk> ng corps. Florence Nightingale formed the first nucleus of a recognised<unk> ng Service for the British Army during the Crimean War in 1854. In the same theatre of the same war, Professor Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov and the Grand Duchess Yelena Pavlovna originated Russian traditions of recruiting and training<unk> s – associated especially with besieged Sevastopol (1854–1855). Following the war Nightingale fought to institute the employment of women<unk> s in British<unk>  hospitals, and by 1860 she had succeeded in establishing an Army Training School for<unk> s at the Royal Victoria<unk>  Hospital in Netley, Hampshire, England. In 1898, after the Spanish-American War, the United States added 1,500<unk> s to their<unk>  personnel (Brooks, 2018). A year later in 1899, the Surgeon General recognized the importance of these<unk> s and established a "reserve group" of<unk> s with specific criteria to prepare for future wars.<unk> s are similar to floor<unk> s in that they spend most of their time providing direct patient care. Patient assessments, medication distribution, interventions and documentation are part of their daily work. These<unk> s are needed at all<unk>  bases, active war zones, clinics and front lines – not always on United States territory.
