Does anyone know why and when St Agatha was chosen as patron saint of nurses?
According to variations of her legend, having rejected the amorous advances of a Roman prefect, she was persecuted by him for her Christian faith. Among the tortures she underwent was the cutting off of her breasts. She is therefore often depicted iconographically carrying her excised breasts on a platter.
The shape of her amputated breasts, especially as depicted in artistic renderings, were shaped like bells or bread. This gave rise to her attribution as the patron saint of bell-founders and as the patron saint of bakers. More recently, she has been venerated as patron saint of breast cancer patients. I believe this is why she was chosen as the patron saint of nurses also. I'm not sure of when though.

Who is the patron saint of nurses?
There are several:
Agatha
Alexius
Camillus of Lellis
Catherine of Alexandria
Catherine of Siena
John of God
Margaret of Antioch
Raphael the Archangel
I'm currently waiting for the result of my admission in the nursing program and i believe that the most powerful prayer is sincerely praying within my heart and another is to intercede my petitions by means of novena as a sacrifice. Help me please I'm eager to say it everyday or everyhour.
And they said St. Agatha becasue she's the patron saint of nurses.
Further suggestions will surely help me..thanks!
Pray to the most powerful of all intercessors, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Direct line to God: Jesus. He has said, "Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door shall be opened..."
whatever you ask the Father in my name, He will grant you...."

La Festa di Santa Margherita: Patron Saint of Cortona from Stephen Simrill on Vimeo .
On February 22, 2009, the town of Cortona celebrated the life of its patron saint, Santa Margharita.
She is the patron saint of the falsely accused; hoboes; homeless; insane; orphaned; mentally ill; midwives; penitents; single mothers; reformed prostitutes; third children; tramps .
At the age of seven, Margaret's mother died and her father remarried. Little love was shared between stepmother and stepdaughter. At the age of 17 she met a young man, according to some accounts a man named Arsenio, the son of Gugliemo di Pecora, lord of Valiano. She ran away with him. For ten years she lived with him in his house near Montepulciano and bore him a son. She wanted to marry him as promised, but he refused. When Arsenio failed to return home from a journey one day, Margaret became worried. The unaccompanied return of his favourite hound alarmed Margaret, and the hound led her to his murdered body which was located deep in a forest. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of prayer and penance, and Margaret returned all the gifts he had given her and left his home. With her child, she returned to her father's house but her stepmother would not have her. Margaret and son then went to the Friars at Cortona where she put herself in their care at the church of San Francesco in the city. She fasted, avoided meat, and subsisted on bread and vegetables. After three years, St. Margaret joined the Third Order of St. Francis and chose to live in poverty. Following the example of St. Francis of Assisi, she begged for sustenance and bread. She became a Franciscan tertiary.
