Question

Write a couple of lines about the nurses and their profession in the 19th century ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Three schools of nursing inspired by the work of Florence Nightingale open in New York City, New Haven, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachusetts

Although women physicians in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston had already established formal training schools for nurses in the 1860s, the New York Training School at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, the Connecticut Training School at the State Hospital (later New Haven Hospital) in New Haven, and the Boston Training School at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston were the first three nurse training schools to claim their organization was based on the principles specified by Florence Nightingale. Nightingale’s principles included an endowment ensuring the independence of the training school, a superintendent of nurses reporting only to the head of the hospital, a strong emphasis on sanitary knowledge, clearly defined lecture and ward time for students and an insistence on the importance of technical skill and a disciplined character in nurses. Few training schools—even Nightingale’s own school at St. Thomas’s hospital in London—met all these criteria, and most reported to medical directors. Nevertheless, the idea of shaping a school around Nightingale’s principles became an animating spirit for the experimental idea of formal nurses’ training in hospitals and accounted in large measure for its success.
