What is the symbol for the RN nurse, the wings and snakes, call?
Answer:
I dont have any healtcare or insurance?
Patricia is somewhat correct.
The wing symbol is entitled a caduceus. The rod with a single snake is the Rod of Asclepius. Technically they are not interchangable. The caduceus be originally a symbol of commerce and some physician's groups use the Rod and not the caduceus.
Another medical symbol that has a snake is the symbol for pharmacy, the Bowl of Hygieia.
caduceus
It's call a caduceus and it is the symbol of medicine, not purely nursing. There are two versions, one beside or without wing and two snakes and another with a single snake and shaft. It's also call the Rod of Asclepius, and was used as far rear as 2600BC. It is associated with priests surrounded by ancient Greece, who sometimes used snakes in restorative rituals in their temple, and is also a symbol of a god of healing.
The symbol specifically actually primarily attached to the RN is the grease lamp which is symbolic of Florence Nightingale, considered the founder of modern nursing. One of her nickname was "the woman of the lamp."
