Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), British nurse and hospital reformer became internationally known as the founder of modern nurs

ing. Nursing, which before her time was considered low-grade unskilled labor, became a respected profession because of her efforts.
Born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820, Nightingale was raised mostly in Derbyshire, England, and received a thorough classical education from her father. From 1837 to 1839 she traveled with her parents in Europe, and the suffering she saw aroused an interest in nursing. She visited hospitals whenever possible. In 1849 she traveled in Italy, Greece, and Egypt, and in 1850 stopped in Germany to visit the hospital and school for deaconesses at Kaiserswerth, near Düsseldorf, Germany.

Nightingale returned to England determined to study nursing despite the disapproval of her parents. The following year she studied for several months at the nursing institution at Kaiserswerth. In 1853 she became superintendent of the Hospital for Invalid Gentlewomen, a small private hospital in London.



After the Crimean War broke out in 1854, Nightingale was stirred by newspaper reports about the primitive sanitation methods and grossly inadequate nursing facilities at the large British barracks-hospital at Üsküdar (now part of İstanbul, Turkey). She dispatched a letter to the British minister of war, volunteering her services in Crimea. At the same time, unaware of her action, the minister of war proposed that she assume direction of all nursing operations at the war front.

Nightingale set out for Üsküdar accompanied by 38 Roman Catholic and Anglican sisters and lay nurses. They found that the military hospitals lacked supplies, the wounded soldiers were unwashed and filthy, and diseases such as typhus, cholera, and dysentery were rampant. Under Nightingale’s supervision, efficient nursing departments were established at Üsküdar and later at Balaklava in Crimea. Through her tireless efforts the death rate among the sick and the wounded was greatly reduced. Nightingale became a national hero and was called the Lady with the Lamp and the Angel of the Crimea. Although Nightingale contracted a severe illness in the Crimea in 1855, she stayed with her hospital until the end of the war in 1856.

Returning to England when the war was over, Nightingale immediately began to reorganize the army medical service. She helped hospitals acquire proper ventilation and drainage systems and select competent, properly trained orderlies. She also introduced meticulous hospital record keeping and had an army medical school established. With a public fund raised in tribute to her services in the Crimea, Nightingale founded the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses at Saint Thomas’s Hospital in London. The opening of this school marked the beginning of professional education in nursing.

Florence Nightingale’s contributions to the evolution of nursing as a profession were invaluable. Before she undertook her reforms, nurses were largely untrained personnel who considered their job a menial chore; through her efforts the stature of nursing was raised to a medical profession with high standards of education and important responsibilities. The graduates of her school soon started nursing schools in other hospitals, and the movement for training nurses spread rapidly. Her advice was continually sought, not only on nursing matters, but also on hospital construction and management and on every aspect of public health.

Nightingale received many honors from foreign governments and in 1907 became the first woman to receive the British Order of Merit. She died in London on August 13, 1910. In 1915 the Crimean Monument in Waterloo Place, London, was erected in her honor. Her writings include Notes on Nursing (1860), the first textbook for nurses, which was translated into many languages. Among her other writings are Notes on Hospitals (1859) and Notes on Nursing for the Labouring Classes (1861)

What are some differences between rights and responsibilities? Give some examples of each one. plz don't copy from google plz pl
ch4aika [34]

Hello dear how are you? Whenever you see Luna, Luna is here to help. And, whenever Luna is summoned you can rest assured I will come like lightning to answer your needs on writing and literature. Now, let's begin...

Rights are standards or principals that are in favor according to what is right or just according to the legal aspect of law. However, in a Biblical aspect, it means conformity to the the will of God. Now, responsibilities based on Biblical terms, God entrusted humankind individually with a responsibility. That is, everyone is answerable to God for their actions. In the beginning God gave the first two humans Adam and Eve the responsibility of multiplying, subduing the earth, and have dominion over creation as found in ( Gen 1:28 ). Whereas, in civics the definition of responsibility is quite different, its meaning is: "The state of being accountable for something or someone that is under one’s control, an instance of being responsible; a burden of obligation, and the person or thing for which another is responsible."

A right is a standard or principle, in this case "you mustn't cheat on your spouse" that is by law condemned and a cause for divorce. In a Biblical aspect "love thou neighbor as yourself", in this case love people who are different, strange, etc. and consider them your neighbor. Love them as one. Rights is also what we as individuals have, liberty, to practice any sort of religion or tradition. When that is taken away our rights are being taken away. The article below will give you a small example on the matter.
