Explicație:
Florence Nightingale was a woman who was a pioneer in nursing. The profession of nursing was founded by her and she revolutionized the sanitary practices in hospitals. She did all these amazing things in an era when women could not go to University to study and could not have a career.
She was born in 1820 in Italy and her given name comes from the place of birth, Florence. She was one of the daughters of a rich landowner who was an open-minded man. He offered to Florence and Parthenope, the other daughter, all the education he considered was necessary. The girls were taught Greek, Latin, Italian, German, History, Philosophy and Mathematics.
Florence decided to follow a career in nursing at the age of twenty-five. Her parents didn’t agree with her idea but she was very determined and she managed to persuade her parents to accept. Her father finally allowed her to go and study in Germany to become a nurse. After two years she was appointed superintendent of a hospital for women in London.
In 1854 there was a war between Britain, France and Turkey on the one side and Russia on the other side. The conditions that soldiers had to endure in hospitals shocked the public. At that moment Florence decided to help the wounded soldiers and went to a military hospital in Turkey, leading a group of thirty-eight nurses. The conditions in that hospital were very poor and the supplies were limited. Initially she didn’t receive very much help from officers and doctors. But they changed their minds when they saw her assistance was needed and so she started to organize the general conditions in the hospital. She managed to improve sanitation and to increase the survival rate of the wounded soldiers.
In 1856 she returned to England as a heroine, everyone admired and respected her. She was known as “the lady with the lamp”, name given to her by the soldiers she watched over night. After coming back, she began to require improvements to the standards in the military hospitals, referring to hygiene and health care. For this purpose it was appointed a Royal Commission and in 1857 the Army Medical College was established.
In 1859, Florence Nightingale wrote a book, Notes of Nursing, in which she shared her knowledge about health care. Later, this book was translated in eleven languages. The she established the Nightingale School for Nurses at St. Thomas’s Hospital. This was the first school for nurses and from that moment on, nursing was accepted as a suitable job for a young woman.
She worked very hard to do all these achievements although she was not a very healthy woman. Queen Victoria awarded her the Royal Red Cross in 1883 and in 1907 she was the first woman that received the Order of Merit.
She died in 1910, at the age of ninety. She was a remarkable person, who had improved for ever the quality of hospital services.
