Florence Nightingale post-Crimean War - answerFollowing the war, Nightingale
returned to England and, against physician opposition (only 4 of 100 physicians
approved), established a nursing school at St. Thomas Hospital thanks to a donation
from the public equal to $200k. At the nursing school, Nightingale developed an
educational program based on the science of the time.
Nursing School at St. Thomas Hospital - answerNightingale's curriculum had a key
component--that nurses need to observe changes in their patients and report them to
the physician.
Florence understood the important of the consistent presence of nurses with a patient,
and that that is central to the nursing role
Florence Nightingale's Nursing Education Model - answerNightingale combined
didactic content and bedside experience; this model is still followed in all nursing
programs today

charge of nurses and nursing students--not physicians. To this day, nurses regulate
ourselves.

hospital based nursing training programs were administered by physicians, not nurses.
The Civil War gave rise to early efforts to develop nursing as a recognized and distinct
profession--not just the off shoot of the "woman's role"
Nursing During the Late 1800's in the United States - answerDuring this period, nurses
were trained at apprentice programs in hospitals, there were no actual nursing schools.
Nurses were not in charge of nurses, so graduates of these programs were more aligned
with the hospital and physicians than with the patient.
