Facts About Florence Nightingale FACTS ABOUT FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE • Born in Florence, Italy, on May 12th, 1820 (named for the city) to an affluent British family • Nightingale was active in philanthropy as a child, and believed nursing to be her “divine purpose” (Biography.com, Background and early life section). NURSING EDUCATION AND BEGINNING CAREER • Enrolled at the nursing program at the Institution of Protestant Deaconesses in Kaiserswerth, Germany in 1850-1851. • Found employment at the Harley Street hospital as a nurse, and was soon promoted to superintendent all in 1853 (Biography.com, Background and early life section). • Her parents viewed her career choice as unwise, given her social position and the expectation that she might “marry a man of means to ensure her class standing.” DID YOU KNOW? Nightingale was a prodigious and versatile writer. She was also a pioneer in data visualization with the use of infographics, effectively using graphical presentations of statistical data. (Bostridge, Mark, 17 February 2011) Painting of Nightingale by Photograph of Nightingale Augustus Egg, c. 1840s by Kilburn, c. 1854 CRIMEAN WAR • In October 1853, the Crimean War broke out between the Turks and Russia, which eventually involved England and France in the spring of 1854. As the English and French sent their troops to Turkey as allies, there was a need for a mobile nursing unit to accompany them and handle the outbreaks of cholera, dysentery, and other serious disorders – as well as treat those who had succumbed to battle injuries. • Florence Nightingale was asked to lead a volunteer group of nurses to Scutari, which was the Greek name for a district in Istanbul. She was just 34 years old. • She gathered additional supplies from vendors in Marseilles on her way to Turkey, which proved extremely vital when she finally arrived. • The medical officers on the scene in Scutari saw the female nursing party as “meddling outsiders” and declined their services. In spite of this, she began to keep “detailed daily records of wounds, diseases, and deaths; contaminated food and water; lack of supplies; and major organizational problems with the army’s Medical Department” (Dossey, 2000, pg. 124). • Conditions in the hospital wards were awful: vermin infestations; overflow casualties were laid on both sides of the hallways; blankets made of canvas; and perhaps worst, sewer lines were blocked and toilets overflowed into the hallways (it was also winter, so the windows were closed against the cold). Shipments of supplies were delayed, and it caused so much stress for the medical team that Nightingale insisted a government shipping warehouse be established in Scutari itself. She was able to procure as many as “6,000 shirts, 2,000 socks, 500 pairs of drawers, nightcaps, slippers, knives, forks, wooden spoons, trays, tables, forms, clocks, operating room tables, scrubbers, towels, soap, screens, spoons, tin baths, combs, precipitate for destroying lice, scissors, bedpans, and stump pillows” (Dossey, 2000, pg. 130). 1 LADY WITH THE LAMP • Nightingale worked as many as 20 hours a day during the war. She developed a reputation for her tireless efforts reviving and stabilizing soldiers who were originally deemed terminal. She also requested to take on the most severe cases personally. • At nighttime she made her solitary rounds in the hospital carrying a lantern, earning her the nickname the “Lady with the lamp.” This image of Nightingale became infamous through poetry and song, and her likeness was captured in sculpture, woodcuts, and statues. • Her efforts attracted the attention of Queen Victoria by the fall of 1854. In mid-December, Queen Victoria told Nightingale that she would be sending the soldiers and nursing staff warm scarves, as a sign of support and care. • Nightingale also advocated for the barrack hospital where she worked, asking for adequate stores and stressing the importance of careful record-keeping. She also wanted the soldiers to resign themselves to the status of “patient” and allow the nursing staff to care for them, rather than care for themselves as they were trained to do. Improving the soldier’s stay in the hospital by way of providing meals, hospital furniture, and clothing was very important. She also extended this program to the front lines of the battlefield, developing recommendations for a system that would later become known as rationing. She was also responsible for the establishment of a house steward to direct washing, cooking, cleaning, and coordination of the orderlies to keep the hospital running efficiently. DID YOU KNOW? She kept a pet owl named Athena for 5 years during her time in Turkey. The owl is currently on display at the Florence Nightingale Museum in London, England.

Scutari hospital 1855 by Henry Hering, c. 1860 ENGLISH ARMY’S MEDICAL REFORMS • In 1855, Nightingale received accolades for her work at the barrack hospital in Scutari: The Sultan of Turkey presented her with a diamond and carnelian bracelet, as well as a sum of money for the nurses. Queen Victoria also gave her a badge with the phrase “Blessed are the merciful.” • Nightingale returned to England from the war in 1856. • Upon her return, she made it her new mission to ensure that the oversight, unpreparedness, and sanitation problems that had riddled the barrack hospital never returned. She began to “spearhead the major reforms for the English army’s Medical Department.” (Dossey, 2000, pg. 186). • Some of her main army proposals for reform were as follows: - In all army units, soldiers must be trained to take care of themselves beyond just on the battlefield – a new degree of self-sufficiency must be created. - An inventory of items in the warehouses must be periodically reported to officers in the field. - Transport of supplies must be handled by military command, to ensure the items’ safety and effective delivery. - A sanitary officer must be assigned to advise on proper encampment sites, diets, clothing, etc. - The management of general hospitals must be consolidated under one department. - Standards of hygiene needed to be developed, including furniture and storage closets within hospitals, to ensure a fully- sanitized working and healing space. - Overall modernization and re-structuring of the army’s Medical Department, including clearly-defined job descriptions, policies and procedures, and creation of an army medical school. - Cooks should be assigned to hospitals to ensure a healthy diet can be provided to all patients. - Both male and female nurses should be used in military hospitals - All hospitals should be engineered to provide the best conditions for lighting, especially direct sunlight, adequate sewerage and drainage, ventilation, heating and cooling, water supply, sufficient space per patient, etc. (Dossey, 2000, pg. 190-192) 2 LATER CAREER AND LEGACY • Since returning to England, she had continually suffered from extreme fatigue, insomnia, lack of appetite, nausea at the sight of food, irritability, nervousness, and intermittent depression. She collapsed from severe palpitations in August 1857. She was sent for “water cure” treatment at a medicinal spring in Malvern. She declared herself an invalid in September 1857, at age 37, and took it upon herself to get better. She regained some strength a few months later and felt well enough to return to work. She herself suspected that she may not have fully recovered from her bout of Crimean fever, and she needed to give herself the time to recuperate from the illness in order to fully heal. • As she dealt with her illness, she entered a period of solitude, wishing not to be seen in such a “weakened” state by her peers or by government officials with whom she was still working on government reforms. She ate alone, moved into a hotel because it was quieter, and had her aunt act as intermediary between herself and the rest of the world, including her family. • Thanks to her efforts, “in the first 3 years of reform, the fatality rate of soldiers stationed in England fell to less than 50% of the number in earlier years, and the total mortality from all diseases dropped” as well (Dossey, 2000, pg. 218). • She was responsible for the creation of policies and Model Hospital Forms that would be used for consistent medical information record keeping, including the “Admission and Discharge Form,” the “Disease Specification and Incidence Form” (an updated list of classification of diseases), and the “Hospital Statistical Form” to track the number of patients with specific conditions who were “admitted, cured, dead, discharged, incurable, or discharged at their own request as well as the number of days hospitalized per case” (Dossey, 2000, pg. 224). • She published a book, Notes on Hospitals, in 1859, which focused on sanitary conditions in hospitals, hospital construction, civilian and military hospital organization, hospital design, and overall administrative reform (Dossey, 2000, pgs. 232-235). • Her second book, Notes on Nursing, was written “to help people care for themselves, their family, and their friends,” offering insight into care and illness prevention. It was published in January 1860, and became “a touchstone for the emerging profession of nursing. The first printing of 15,000 copies sold out within a month, and has stayed in print ever since (Dossey, 2000, pg. 238-239). • The Nightingale School of Nursing opened at St. Thomas’s Hospital on June 24th, 1860. DID YOU KNOW? In 1883, Nightingale became the first recipient of the Royal Red Cross. In 1904, she was appointed a Lady of Grace of the Order of St John (LGStJ). (The London Gazette. 17 May 1904) Nightingale (middle) in 1886 with her graduating class of nurses from St Thomas’ outside Claydon House, Buckinghamshire • “When the American Civil War broke out in April 1861…doctors soon wrote to Nightingale seeking advice on how to care for the sick and wounded troops” (Dossey, 2000, pg.

    The Unified Theory of Meaning Emergence Mike Taylor RN, MHA, CDE Author Unaffiliated Nursing Theorist [email protected] Member of the Board – Plexus Institute Specialist in Complexity and Health Lead designer – The Commons Project, a web based climate change intervention My nursing theory book, “Nursing, Complexity and the Science of Compassion”, is currently under consideration by Springer Publishing 1 Introduction Nursing science and theory is unique among the scientific disciplines with its emphasis on the human-environment relationship since the time of Florence Nightingale. An excellent review article in the Jan-Mar 2019 issue of Advances in Nursing Science, explores the range of nursing thought and theory from metaparadigms and grand theories to middle range theories and identifies a common theme. A Unitary Transformative Person-Environment-Health process is both the knowledge and the art of nursing. This type of conceptual framework is both compatible with and informed by complexity science and this theory restates the Human-Environment in a complexity science framework. This theory makes a two-fold contribution to the science of nursing and health, the first is in the consolidation and restatement of already successful applications of complexity theory to demonstrate commonalities in adaptive principles in all systems through a unified definition of process. Having a unified theoretical platform allows the application of the common process to extend current understanding and potentially open whole new areas for exploration and intervention. Secondly, the theory makes a significant contribution in tying together the mathematical and conceptual frameworks of complexity when most of the literature on complexity in health separate them (Krakauer, J., 2017).

  • A Light in the Darkness: Florence Nightingale's Legacy
    A Light in the Darkness: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE’S LEGACY Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of nursing, was born on May 12, 1820. In celebration of her 200th birthday, the World Health Organization declared 2020 the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife.” It's now clear that nurses and health care providers of all kinds face extraordinary circumstances this year. Nightingale had a lasting influence on patient care that's apparent even today. Nightingale earned the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp” because she checked on patients at night, which was rare at the time and especially rare for head nurses to do. COURTESY OF THE WELLCOME COLLECTION When Florence Nightingale was growing up in England in the early 19th century, nursing was not yet a respected profession. It was a trade that involved little training. Women from upper-class families like hers were not expected to handle strangers’ bodily functions. She defied her family because she saw nursing as a calling. Beginning in 1854, Nightingale led a team of nurses in the Crimean War, stationed in present-day Turkey. She saw that the overcrowded, stuffy hospital with an overwhelmed sewer system was leading to high death rates. She wrote to newspapers back home, inspiring the construction of a new hospital. In celebration of: Brought to you by: Nightingale, who wrote several books on hospital and nursing practice, is often portrayed with a letter or writing materials. COURTESY OF THE WELLCOME COLLECTION A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH After the war, Nightingale founded the Nightingale created Nightingale Training School at cutting-edge charts, like this one, which displayed the St.

  • Florence Nightingale and Oxford Statistics
    Florence Nightingale and Oxford Statistics Florence Nightingale’s influence on nursing is well known but her influence on the development and use of statistics is less familiar. Taught by her father, Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) showed a gift for mathematics from an early age, and studied the pioneering works on statistics by Adolphe Quetelet, one of the founders of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS). Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) & !e Royal Statistical Society "e RSS was founded in 1834 as the Statistical Society of London, and Florence Nightingale became its !rst female member in 1858. She used statistical methods to analyse the mortality and medical data she had collected while nursing during the Crimean War (1853–6) and was a pioneer in the visual presentation of information and statistical graphics. She is credited with developing a form of the pie chart now known as the polar area diagram. Benjamin Jowett (1817–1893) Aer returning as an invalid from the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale met the reforming Master of Balliol, Benjamin Jowett, and continued a long correspondence with him !e Department of Statistics until he died in 1893. In 1874 aer the death of Quetelet she suggested that ‘the only !tting Sadly Jowett’s plan came to nothing, memorial to Q’ would be to ‘introduce his although a highly distinguished statistician, science in the studies of Oxford’. "ough no Francis Edgeworth, held the post of Professor mathematician, Jowett believed strongly in the of Political Economy in Oxford from 1891 to use of statistics in medicine and developed 1922. Oxford’s !rst Professor of Statistics was a plan for their joint endowment, supplemented appointed in 1948 within Social Studies, and by ‘begging of the rich people of the world’, in 1988 the Department of Statistics was of a Professorship of Statistics at Oxford.

  • The Polar Area Diagrams of Florence Nightingale
    Example 6: Student work The Polar Area Diagrams of Florence Nightingale If you read the article on Florence Nightingale in “The Children’s Book of Famous Lives”1 you will not learn that she had to battle with her parents to be allowed to study Mathematics. If you read the Ladybird book “Florence Nightingale”2 you will not discover that she was the first woman to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. In looking around for an area of research I was intrigued to discover that Florence Nightingale, who I always thought of as the “lady with the lamp”, was a competent Mathematician who created her own type of statistical diagram which she used to save thousands of soldiers from needless death. Florence Nightingale headed a group of 38 nurses who went to clean up the hospitals for the British soldiers in the Crimea in 1854. She found that most of the deaths were due to diseases which could be prevented by basic hygiene, such as typhus and cholera. Her improvements were simple but they had an enormous effect: “She and her nurses washed and bathed the soldiers, laundered their linens, gave them clean beds to lie in, and fed them”3. When she returned to Britain she made a detailed report to the Government setting out what conditions were like and what needed to be done to reduce deaths in the hospitals. Nothing was done, so she tried again, making another statistical report and included in it three new statistical diagrams to make data collated by William Farr more accessible to people who could not get their minds around tables of figures.
