The Development of nursing

The Civil War needed nurses,

because of all vast amount of sick

and wounded

20,000 women and men served

as nurses in both the North and the South

The Nightingale training intended to

teach young women sanitary practice.

In the 19th century hospitals were built in the popular areas of the country

The success of these first three so-called “Nightingale schools”

led to nurse training programs.

what it was like before

-Before Florence Nightingale the condition of hospitals and the nursing profession was in a degraded state

- Hospitals were dirty and over crowded.

-Antiseptics were unknown. barley

any facilities for the training of nurses existed, and their pay was less than that for a common labourer in the field.

-Nurses were drawn from the “undesirable sections” of society and were commonly regarded as “vulgar”, “uneducated”, “unclean” and notorious for their drunkenness and immorality.

What it was like after

More people are demanded to

work as Nurses now days.

Some nurses are taking over

what is reserved for physicians

As nursing today, it is exceedingly popular

and highly respected profession that

attracts large numbers of new recruits

to its ranks.

Nursing was very important and made a huge impact,

because they play a role in delivering babies, and help the injured and wounded. After wars, it was very important for nurses to take care and help the wounded and sick.

the life of Florence Nightingale

Nightingale influences nursing

-She is best remembered for her work during the Crimean war.

-Nursing only existed in a few religious orders, until Florence showed what it could do and established a school to produce people who could do it.

-She was born in 1820 to wealthy English parents.

-At a young age she helped ill and poor people in the village.

-At 16 she knew she wanted to be a nurse

-Her parents weren’t approving of her choice.

-At 17 she refused a marriage proposal

-Despite her parents objections she enrolled as a student at Lutheran hospital of pastor Fliedner in Germany.

-Her ideas about infection were formed by the experience she gained reorganizing and improving the hygiene standards at the hospital at Scutari in Turkey during the Crimean War.

Nightingale’s Nursing Principles

* Nursing is an art and a science.

* Nurses should spend their time caring for patients, not cleaning.

* The nurse must work as a member of a team.

* The nurse must use discretion, but must follow the physician's orders.

* Self-discipline and self-evaluation are important.

* The nurse should be healthy in mind and body.

* A nurse does not "graduate", but continues to learn throughout his or her career.

Conclusion

Florence Nightingale, made an immensely important impact on nursing. Without her, we would not have hygienic things in our daily lives today, and maybe not have nursing, or not of had it for this great amount of time. Nursing, was really significant, because it saved the people who were injured or severely sick. In modern times, nursing has obviously differed, but a ot of the basics are still there, and are based off it.
