I have read quite a bit about nursing theorists lately…just because. I know, it’s rather weird, but I feel compelled to dig deeper into nursing’s professional roots. Hildegard Peplau, one of nursing’s foremost leaders, died 13 years ago this Saturday. I must confess I learned of Peplau in nursing school, but I am really just now understanding her tenacious contribution to the profession via her life and mid-range nursing theory. The first nursing theorist publishing nearly 100 years after Florence Nightingale, she is a fascinating woman, nursing pioneer, and innovator. She inspired me so much, I developed my first ever Nursetopia infographic in her honor.

Let me know your thoughts. Who knows, maybe I’ll make a nursing theorist infographic series!
