 INTRODUCTION

nvestigating the history of nursing conducted in recent years has been a

I breakthrough for the knowledge of it, so that recent published works allow
us to know better history of nursing in Spain. Supported in this reality seems
to us that it is time to develop a new study on the profession and the evolution
that has followed, using for analysis criteria characterizing professions initiated by
Weber and continued by other authors such as Parsons, Wilenski, Elliot and others.

The origin of patient care and nursing practice has to do with maternal
interventions, who ensured the continuity of life. Food in the first moments of the
life of a child is considered the oldest care practice in an individual.

At the time of the great Greek thinkers like Socrates or Homer, was already
imposed the act of self-cleaning and kept people alive and gave them a better
quality of it.

Nursing is a profession that involves attention, autonomous and collaborative care

of the health of humans. Nurses engaged broadly, to address the problems of
potential or actual health posed one person.

Florence Nightingale drove the first nursing theory 150 years ago about which new
models emerge, each having a different philosophy of how to understand the
nursing and care that are provided to the patient. In 1852 was the beginning of
professional nursing, as through the publication of the book "Nursing Notes"
Nightingale, nurses began to feel an interest in acquiring technical knowledge
about their profession.

Nursing today is a college-level career dedicated to care and medical care of

patients. There is another profession within nursing career performing functions
that supplement the nurse, and the office of technical.

 SUMMARY

Florence Nightingale
(1820/05/12 - 1910/08/13)

British nurse reformer of the health system

"That there are five key points to ensure the safety of the houses: pure air, pure water,
efficient drainage, cleanliness and light"

She was born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, Italy, although she grew up in Derbyshire,
England.

From Victorian family, she grew up in an environment with a very strict upbringing.

In 1850 he began studying nursing at the Institute St. Vincent de Paul in Alexandria,
Egypt, later studied at the Institute for Protestant Deaconesses Kaiserswerth, Germany.

In 1853 she directed the Hospital for Invalid Gentlewomen in London. During the
Crimean War, he knew of poor sanitary conditions and lack of facilities at the large
hospital barracks Üsküdar (Turkey), so she sent a letter to the secretary of the British War,
offering their services. The minister proposed to assume the direction of all nursing tasks
in front.

She traveled to Üsküdar with 38 other nurses. nursing departments in Üsküdar and
Balaklava, Crimea were created. she finished the race in 1860, founded the School and
Home for Nurses Nightingale at St. Thomas Hospital in London. School marks the
beginning of vocational training in the field of nursing.

Since then, the hospital was considered a medical profession with a high degree of
training and responsibility. It was innovative in the collection, tabulation, interpretation
and graphical presentation of descriptive statistics; showed how statistical provides an
organizational framework to monitor and learn, and can lead to improvements in medical
and surgical practices. Among his writings include Notes on Nursing: What it is and what
is not (1860), the first textbook for nurses, which was translated into many languages.

She also developed a model formula Hospital Statistics for hospitals to collect and
generate consistent data and statistics. In 1907 she became the first woman to receive the
Order of Merit.

 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

“Florence Nightingale, the famous nurse of the world, devoted to India most of
his ninety years, but never was able to travel to the country he loved. "

he was born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, at the capital of the Grand

S Duchy of Tuscany moment. Belonging to a wealthy family, was the

daughter of William Edward Nightingale and Frances Smith; Frances, her
older sister was a writer and journalist. Every May 12, the anniversary of
her birth, celebrated the International Nurses Day on UK.

In 1837, driven by what she interpreted as a 'divine call', her family announced her
decision to pursue nursing from 1844. Despite strong opposition from his family -
mainly of his mother and sister she managed formed as a nurse. At that time, the
nursing profession, or cuidadora- was associated with women of the working class,
nothing to do with a cultured young as Florence, which was also destined to marry.

During the following years, sure of her vocation and self-taught, he became an
expert frequenting the health centers visited in each of. (Florencia, 1820 - Londres,
1910)

English nurse, a pioneer of modern nursing profession. Until the middle of the
nineteenth century, attention to the sick in hospitals was virtually nil, and the
cramped conditions and lack of sanitation in them were cause of many deaths. The
meritorious work of Florence Nightingale, considered the founder of modern
nursing bodies, was an improvement noticeable in the organization of hospitals.

Florence today thanks to modern hospitals exist as we know them. She practiced
the traveling nurse while accompanying some women in the Crimean War.

It is considered the founder of modern nursing and the first theory of the
profession. His work was not continued in other nurses until more than 100 years.
We left an important work, which highlight two written: "Notes on Nursing"
published in 1852 and still continues to have great success and "Notes on
Hospitals" published in 1859.

His work was the inspiration of Henri Dunant, Red Cross author of humanitarian
proposals adopted by the Geneva Convention. Anglican faith, believed God had
inspired him to become a nurse. She won worldwide fame for his pioneering work
in nursing care to the wounded during the Crimean War.

In 1860, Florence opened a Nurses Training School at St. Thomas hospital and
began working and writing about different health reforms.

 FLORENCE AND NURSING

Florence Nightingale Pledge was created in 1893 in nursing school Ferrand, of the
arpar Hospital in Detroit. It is one with which nurses commit to "refrain from
causing harm" and to "consider as confidential all information that is disclosed in
exercising the profession as well as all private affairs of patients'

"I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly I will
spend my life in purity and to practice my profession I with all my loyalty. I will
refrain from any harmful and noxious thing and I will not take or knowingly
administer any harmful drug. I will do everything at my disposal to raise the level
of my profession and to maintain in confidence all personal matters that do not
come to light to equal all family matters that come to my knowledge in the practice
of my vocation. Loyally I will make an effort to assist the physician in his work
and devote myself to seek the welfare of staff under my care "

In 1859, Notes on Nursing published: What is and what is not -Notes on Nursing:
What it is, and what it is not- Florence, text that served as the basis for the
curriculum of the School Nightingale and other schools nurses who followed the
same model, despite being written as a guide for those who exercised nursing
home. In the preface said: "Every day is more important knowledge of hygiene,
nursing knowledge, in other words, the art of keeping in health, preventing disease,
or recovering from it. she is recognized as the knowledge that everyone should
have-distinct from medical knowledge, own only one profession. "

 FLORENCE, MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS

In 1840, Florence Nightingale begged her parents to "let her study mathematics
instead of repetitive work and practice of gangs." Her mother did not approve, she
assumed her daughter's destiny was marriage, "what use would mathematics for a
married woman?". Her father, despite her taste for mathematics and haberselo
transmitted to her daughter, asked to study subjects more appropriate for a woman,
such as history or natural and moral philosophy. Her parents finally had no choice
but to give permission.

Florence learned arithmetic, geometry and algebra; one of his tutors was James
Joseph Sylvester. Before fully devote himself to the infirmary, he mentored girls
and boys in those areas of mathematics, with a program of concrete and well
planned learning. In their lesson plans for the teaching of arithmetic and geometry
problems included based on the lives of their pupils and students. They showed
particular special concern for the education of girls: “arithmetic girls has been
neglected……… geography should be arithmetic”.

 THE "ROSE DIAGRAM"

His "rose diagram" -a graphic circularly showed sharp fall in fatalities that
occurred after the work of the Health Commission had dropped 99% in one year.

The diagram in the form of pink nurse recognized

The plot was so easy to understand that was published in many places and the
public understood what was the fault of the army and how urgent was the change.
Thanks to the work of Florence new departments-from medicine, health science
and statistically in the army were established to improve health care.

Florence Nightingale is deservedly recognized as the pioneer of modern nursing

and biostatistics one of the first in history.

13
Her work over the following decades helped establish nursing as a respectable
career for women and improve hospitals, so clean and spacious places where
patients could recover they became.

But while campaigning, his own health was deteriorating. It is believed that in
Crimea contracted chronic brucellosis, an infection that causes fever, depression
and extreme pain. Frail and isolated, struggle to improve health services by
examining statistical data from his sickbed, performing pioneering work that
spread around the world.

In her later years, Florence Nightingale made a comprehensive statistical report on

health conditions in rural areas of India, promoting improvements in medical care
and public health service in the country.

Between 1858 and 1859 the government pressured Britain -with success- for a
Royal Commission was established to address the situation India. Two years later
wrote a report for the Commission, and completed his own studio in 1863. After
ten years of health reform in 1873, Florence reported that mortality among soldiers
in India declined from 69 to 19 per thousand.

14
Florence Nightingale's contribution to the field of statistics was recognized with
his appointment in 1858 as a member of the Royal Statistical Society, the first
woman in that office access. In addition, in 1874, he became honorary member of
the American Statistical Association.

Florence Nightingale was not only the 'lady with the lamp' watching and relieved
his patients during the long nights of Scutari. His legacy valuable, primarily in
nursing and statistics, deserves our recognition.

 FLORENCE AT AGE 90, SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH

While Florence was ill, it was also rich, so she could pay for private medicine. But
he was aware that most of her Victorian contemporaries could not afford it. The
poor could only take care of each other.

Her book "Notes on Nursing" trying to educate people on how to care for sick
relatives and neighbors, but she wanted to do more for less well-off society.
Trained nurses sent to workhouses to help provide treatment to those in need.

That attempt to make health care was at the reach of everyone, regardless of class
or salary, served as a precursor for the National Health Service, of which even
today vainglory UK, which was founded 40 years after death.

16
 FLORENCE WAS THE FIRST WOMAN HONORED BY THE UNITED
KINGDOM

For the 1880s, scientific knowledge had advanced so that further supported the
reformist ideas of Florence. Like many medical practitioners, by then she also
accepted the germ theory or germ theory of disease.

Before his death at age 90, Florence was the first woman to receive the Order of
Merit of the UK, a reward for outstanding services in the field of military, science,
art or literature.

Despite being often a lone female voice in Victorian society, thanks to his talent
for communication and mathematical skills he helped revolutionize the military
and civilian health care and saved thousands of a macabre death.
