Texas Woman’s University marked National Nurses Month with the acquisition of a Florence Nightingale collection featuring books, letters, photographs and artifacts connected to the founder of modern nursing. The collection adds to TWU’s long standing legacy in nursing education.

The Nightingale collection includes approximately 350 pieces of ephemera, books, artifacts, letters and additional materials written by and related to Nightingale. Included in the collection are first editions of Nightingale’s famous work — Notes on Nursing — in every language in which it was published.

“This collection is about more than nursing sentimentality. Rather, the collection paints a fuller picture of this complex woman who founded what we now know as professional nursing,” said Dr. Stephanie Woods, TWU’s College of Nursing dean. “I could not be prouder to have this collection at TWU. I believe the collection will draw students, nurses, informaticists, historians and women’s studies scholars to TWU.”

Three screenings. Three powerful conversations. One important message. ❤️
This spring, Texas Woman’s University proudly hosted screenings of BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey across our Denton, Dallas and Houston campuses, bringing the community together for meaningful dialogue around women’s health, equity and lived experiences.
Each event featured an engaging Q&A with the filmmakers and executive producer TWU alumna Stephanie Collins ’93. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make these events impactful. The conversations sparked through BALANCE will continue far beyond the screen.
