This is a study based on research into the records of the Nightingale Fund and how it was used to finance various experiments in nursing and midwifery training in the nineteenth century, which has been revised and expanded for the second edition. It traces the development of nurse training and discusses the problems that beset a fledgling profession. The new demands of scientific medicine, the emancipation of women and the growth of women's education all played their part in building the foundations of modern nursing. This book, written by Monica Baly, a leading nursing historian, will be a valuable resource to those interested in placing nursing as we know it today in the context of its colourful history.

Florence Nightingale remains an inspiration to nurses around the world for her pioneering work treating wounded British soldiers during the Crimean War; authorship of Notes on Nursing, the foundational text for nursing practice; establishment of the world's first nursing school; and advocacy for the hygienic treatment of patients and sanitary design of hospitals. In Notes on Nightingale, nursing historians and scholars offer their valuable reflections on Nightingale and analysis of her role in the profession a century after her death on 13 August 1910 and 150 years since the Nightingale School of Nursing (now the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College, London) opened its doors to probationers at St Thomas' Hospital. There is a great deal of controversy about Nightingale—opinions about her life and work range from blind worship to blanket denunciation. The question of Nightingale and her place in nursing history and in contemporary nursing discourse is a topic of continuing interest for nursing students, teachers, and professional associations. This book offers new scholarship on Nightingale's work in the Crimea and the British colonies and her connection to the emerging science of statistics, as well as valuable reevaluations of her evolving legacy and the surrounding myths, symbolism, and misconceptions.

Florence Nightingale is famous as the “lady with the lamp” in the Crimean War, 1854—56. There is a massive amount of literature on this work, but, as editor Lynn McDonald shows, it is often erroneous, and films and press reporting on it have been even less accurate. The Crimean War reports on Nightingale’s correspondence from the war hospitals and on the staggering amount of work she did post-war to ensure that the appalling death rate from disease (higher than that from bullets) did not recur. This volume contains much on Nightingale’s efforts to achieve real reforms. Her well-known, and relatively “sanitized”, evidence to the royal commission on the war is compared with her confidential, much franker, and very thorough Notes on the Health of the British Army, where the full horrors of disease and neglect are laid out, with the names of those responsible.

Born to a teacher and a domestic worker, Nomathemba's story is what happens when career collides with calling. In this eloquently written autobiography, Noma documents a life well lived-from a tiny premature baby, who's parents did not see surviving beyond two weeks, to a vibrant, strong woman who has now travelled the globe because of her nursing profession. Take the journey with her as she shares the work experiences and adventures she has had across the world. From her first night in Liverpool UK, where freezing temperatures kept her awake, to an upset stomach in Accra, Ghana, where she learnt the healing power of the paw paw fruit. If you are pursuing a career in nursing, this story will open your eyes to all the possibilities this vocation can lead to. You will be inspired to reach for your dreams and build your own legacy. As you will come to understand, Nomathemba's Legacy is one of courage amid fear, perseverance in the face of impossibility and hope even in the midst of despair. About the Author: Nomathemba Mazaleni is a qualified nurse, midwife, community health nurse, nurse educator and nurse administrator. Her experience has earned her a Bachelor's Degree from the University of South Africa and a Masters Degree from the University of Liverpool in the UK. She has worked in the health sector for more than 40 years, with experience in Public Health, Health Information System, Community Based Education for Health Personnel and HIV/ AIDS. Her extensive world travels in Asia, Europe, USA and other parts of Africa have made her the skilled professional she is. As a health manager, leader, experienced monitoring, and evaluation practitioner, she is passionate about teaching, mentoring, supporting, and advancing the course of nurses and those who may want to follow in her footsteps. Now in her late 60s, Nomathemba does not consider herself as Retired-only Rewired as she still works a full-time job. When not consulting professionally, she delights in being a mother and a grandmother to three lovely boys, who are the inspiration of her legacy and heritage.

Download Nursing and Health Care Ethics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle

Although thousands of articles and books appear annually in the field of nursing ethics, the sheer volume of scholarly publications points to the need to provide assessment and focus, and that is what this book offers. Nursing and Healthcare Ethics documents the work of nurse scholars in ethics, and goes well beyond a mere documentation of what has transpired and a list of what can be done in the future. It creatively looks back to assess previous accomplishments and forward to find new directions and strengthen future scholarly contributions in nursing ethics. Critical thinking activities, organized by the book s themes (such as vulnerability, care and caring, diversity and disparity, and pain and suffering) are examples of applying these scholarly insights into practice. This book is intended not only for undergraduate and graduate students in academic settings, but also for those in professional development programs.

The story of the Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing (KFSN) is a reflection of pioneers and legends that made a difference and had an enduring impact on the nursing profession while transforming clinical practice and systems in Kaiser Permanente for more than 70 years. KFSN nurses were leaders of disruptive innovation, and they helped realize a new way of viewing health care through the lens of Kaiser Permanente's provocative medical model, which focused on wellness rather than illness. Kaiser nurses were considered essential to the success of implementing the KP vision and mission for total health. In realizing this role and boldly transforming practice settings, they influenced the world of integrated nursing and holistic practices for patients, families and communities across the continuum of care. Their contributions did not just build upon previous successes; rather, the innovations they championed ushered in a new era of professional nursing that continues to thrive today. KFSN nurses and Kaiser nurses launched bold transformation while building a legacy of academic excellence, diversity, resilience and a professional practice model that has endured the test of time. As the World Health Organization celebrates 2020 as the "Year of the Nurse and the Midwife," it is an opportunity for all nurses to reflect on their journey and contributions to the wellness of a global community. The legacy of KFSN, and the pioneers that led by entering nursing through its doors, is a reflective journey of deep purpose and promise. A small yet incredibly powerful group of nurses, driven by professional ethics and caring science values, delivered on the promise of total health - and in doing so blazed a trail for all nurses who followed them into the profession. Our history reflects a passion for professional nursing that makes a difference. This passion - our ability to see unique opportunities when faced with obstacles and our commitment to act in new and radical ways - is in our collective DNA. That devotion to excellence over time demonstrates that the disruptive innovations we pioneer today can inform and transform care and healing environments for generations to come.
