Barb Little, RN, was the first nurse to work in the first hyperbaric chamber at Hennepin Healthcare back in the 1960s. She is seen here in Chamber 3, which could hold ten people and functioned as an operating room. Formal training for hyperbaric nurses was just being established in the 1960s and certification would come later in the 1990s.
