Faye Glenn Abdellah (March 13, 1919 – present) is a nursing research pioneer who developed the “Twenty-One Nursing Problems.” Her nursing model was progressive for the time in that it refers to a nursing diagnosis during a time in which nurses were taught that diagnoses were not part of their role in health care.
She was the first nurse officer to rank a two-star rear admiral, the first nurse, and the first woman to serve as a Deputy Surgeon General.
