Nightingale established the first nursing philosophy
based on health maintenance and restoration. Her
views on nursing came from a spiritual philosophy.
She saw the role of nursing as having "charge of
somebody's health" based on the knowledge of
"how to put the body in such a state to be free of
disease or to recover from disease". During the
same yar, she developed the first organized
program for training nurses, the Nightingale
Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas' Hospital
in London.
Nightingale was the first practicing nurse
epidemiologist. Her statistical analyses connected
poor sanitation with cholera and dysentary. She
viewed nursing as a search for truth in finding
answers to health care questions or discovering
and using God's laws of healing in nursing practice.
Florence Nightingale
In 1853 Nightingale went to Paris to study with the
Sisters of Charity and was later appointed
superintendent of the English General Hospitals in
Turkey. During this period she brought about major
reforms in hygiene, sanitation, and nursing
practice. She volunteered during th eCrimean War
in the 1850s and traveled the battlefield hospitals
at night carrying her lamp; she thus was known as
the "lady with the lamp." The sanitary, nutrition, and
basic facilities in the battlefield hospitals were poor
at best. Eventually she was given the task to
organize and improve the quality of the sanitation
facilities. As a result, the mortality rate at the
Barracks Hospital in Scurtari, Turkey, was reduced
from 42.7% to 2.2% in 6 months.
She was the first researcher and developed the pie
chart.
