Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale can boast at least two firsts among her achievements - not only was she the first to found training schools for nurses, she was also the first woman elected fellow of the Statistical Society because of her contribution to army statistics. Although she was conscious of her calling at an early age, she found it difficult to break from her social circle and pursue a nursing career. Born to William Edward and Frances Nightingale (in Florence, Italy, hence her name) she was expected to fulfil the usual role of a wealthy young woman, making a good marriage and living a conventional life. But Florence had other ideas: as a child she enjoyed learning and developed an interest in social issues, visiting her local hospital and the homes of the sick. Because her parents considered the profession inappropriate to a woman of Florence's standing, she was denied her wish to train as a nurse and Florence may have suffered from bouts of depression in response to her situation. However, in 1851 she finally had her way and trained first in Kaiserswerth and then Paris. Two years later she became superintendent of a hospital for invalid women in London. She is best known for her work during the Crimean War where she organised a team of 38 nurses, substantially reducing the mortality rate by applying strict sanitary routines and discipline at the barracks hospital in Scutari. After the war she returned to England and with a fund of £50,000 established a training institution for nurses as St Thomas's and King's College hospitals. Her theories, published in Notes on Nursing (1860), were widely influential and her concerns for sanitation, military health and hospital planning established practices still in existence today. پایان مقاله------------------------------------ http://ino.blogfa.com/ پايگاه اطلاع رساني پرستار و پرستاري |
