I can't give you an exact date, it was long before I was born. Roughly since nurses came into existence though.
Where does it say you will get a job if you don't display it?
http://jobs.nursescareercenter.com/jobdetail.cfm?job=3314432
Requirements
Valid SC nurses license, drivers license, clean SLED, ability to lift 50 pounds, non-smoker, must have dependable and insured transportation, TB, Child CPR, some flexibility required occassionally per Mom's request, must like children, familiar with TPN helpful, Compassionate.
Nursing doesn't seem to fall into any of these categories.
EDIT: As well, this comes from the American Nurses Association:
"Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities; prevention of illness and injury; alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human responses; and advocacy in health care for individuals, families, communities, and populations."
Where in there does it say a nurse needs to have even a good bedside manner, so long as the aforementioned is all completed?
