  • 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.

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.

The program included:(1) the consecutive concentrated study of five individual cultures and (2) a comparative multicultural approach built around five basic themes. While it isbelieved that it is essential to develop positive self-concept and intergrouprelations, multicultural awareness is seen as necessary to understand the different human experiences of people who come from different cultures and ethnic groups. In the school, multicultural awareness vas attained through implementationof the following areas: cultural curricula, multicultural curricula; curriculum based onclassroom cultural and ethnic population; integration of multicultural awareness into basic subject areas ofmath, reading, language; and chronological recognition of events and holidays across cultural lines. This project was developed for elementary grades as aformal approach to begin or enrich multicultural studies.Although much of the content is deemed to be appropriate forkindergarten to sixth grade, special emphasis is given to grades four throughsix.
