Facts about Florence God told Florence to help people. Florence travelled to Scutari with her nurses. Florence set up a school to train nurses. She died in 1910 aged ninety. Florence would walk along the wards at night with a lamp. Florence Nightingale was born in 1820. She was given the Order of Merit award by the king. Florence was sent to Crimea to run a hospital. Florence became ill and spent the rest of her life in bed. She decided to become a nurse. She chose 38 nurses to come with her. Queen Victoria sent Florence a brooch for all her hard work. Florence read lots of books about nursing. Florence and her nurses made the hospital clean so the soldiers would get better. .

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
