I am not a nursing student, but when my friend ask me to search about the life of Dr. Imogene King, a Great Theorist. I was very much inspired. She sets as an example a what a true woman is in the field of nursing.

In the summer of 1962, I was an incredibly nervous student beginning her clinicals at Loyola University in Chicago. Dr. King was my clinical instructor. I remember her as warm and supportive. I have talked with her several times in the last few years at the Sigma Theta Tau meetings. She was a great woman. I was shocked to learn of her death. Julie Donalek, R.N., Ph.D., A.P.R.N.,B.C.

Although this is much later than many entries, I still wanted to add my gratitude for the work and life of Imogene King. She served me as an inspiration and mentor in my scholarly endeavors.

I knew Dr. Imogene King for over 50 years as a nursing instructor,nursing colleague and friend. She was loyal to her principles and generous with her time. Dr. King gave much to nursing

I didn't know Imogene very long. I am getting my BSN and our group chose her as our nursing theorist. When I called her out of the blue, she was so helpful and let us call her on speaker phone to talk to our class.I think the world lost a GREAT LADY with her passing. She made great strides in nursing.
