Why color nurses pictures?

Nurses are the health care professionals in charge of attending directly to patients after receiving the doctor's orders. The first nurses were the nuns who took care of the sick and the wounded.

It was not until 1873 that nursing was officially declared a profession in the territory of the United States, with nurse Linda Richards being the first person to earn a nursing degree.

At Coloring Together we want to pay tribute to all the male and female nurses who fight day after day for the health of all their patients. So we have gathered the best nurse images to color from across the web.

That is not all! On top of each one of the nurse coloring pages we have also added a fun fact that will surely make you admire this profession even more. Do not waste any time! It is an excellent chance to do the activity you love while you learn new things.
