Abstract

ABSTRACT: How can one nurse change the world? This descriptive case study examines the remarkable career of Margaret Kollmer, a nurse and Mary-knoll Sister who developed Korea's first Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist training program and organized the Korean Association of Nurse Anesthetists. Later, she joined a team serving displaced Korean families and helped establish the first hospice program in Korea, as well as a resident hospice program for homeless AIDS patients in New York. Her 59 years of service shows what faithful reliance on God can accomplish.
