     Extractions: Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) Desconocido para muchos es su desarrollo innovador de técnicas en el análisis estadístico (como el "ploteo" de incidencias de muerte prevenible entre los militares durante la guerra), con lo cual mostró, finalmente, cómo un fenómeno social podía ser medido objetivamente y analizado matemáticamente. Se supone que las mujeres no deben tener una ocupación suficientemente importante para no ser interrumpida...Ellas se han acostumbrado a considerar la ocupación intelectual como un pasatiempo egoísta, y es su "deber" dejarlo, para atender a cualquiera más pequeño que ellas. Dos años más tarde ella fue nombrada la directora residentes del hospital para mujeres inválidas en Harley Street, London. El año siguiente Nightingale se le dio permiso de que llevara a treinta y ocho enfermeras a cuidar a los soldados británicos en la guerra. Nightingale encontró que las condiciones en el hospital militar en Scutari eran alarmantes. Los hombres eran mantenidos en cuartos sin sábanas ni comida decente. Sin lavar, ellas mantenían sus uniformes puestos, "tiesos de la suciedad". En estas condiciones no era sorprendente que en los hospitales militares, heridas de guerra era solo la sexta razón de defunción. Enfermedades como el tifus, cólera y disentería eran las tres causas principales por las cuales la proporción de muertos era tan alta.

     Extractions: of Cromford Florence Nightingale - a fragment Florence Nightingale's family seat, Lea Hurst, just two miles down the Derwent valley then up a lot, is now a superior residential home. Below in the valley of the Lea Brook is the family lead smelting site, which a Canadian librarian once suggested to me was responsible for F.N.'s (that is how she often signed herself, in pencil) fifty years as an invalid. Certainly it was a poisonous place, not a blade of grass grows on the site to this day. After she became a popular heroine, at least one local expression of admiration was published, 'a loyal address' with photographs of her and of the house. She was involved in the extension of the 19th century Derby Infirmary, and many Derbyshire babies, including my own, started life in a Nightingale Ward or Wing. Memorabilia turn up occasionally. The ancient Lea Wood, part of the Nightingale Estate, is to be sold to the Woodlands Trust; through Lea Wood, 100 years ago, walked the future writer Alison Uttley on her way to school - another tall, elegant and formidable Derbyshire woman!

     Extractions: Bernard Quaritch Ltd. NIGHTINGALE, Florence Fifteen Autograph Letters Signed, and two Autograph Postcards ('Florence Nightingale', 'F. Nightingale', 'F. N.' and 'Aunt Florence') to Major George Lloyd-Verney (8) and Mrs Lloyd-Verney ('Morfy', 9), Claydon Park and South Street, 6 November 1886 - 9 December 1893 (one no year). 511/2 pages, 8vo (three letters in pencil, 10 on mourning paper, autograph envelopes; words and phrases underlined in red and blue pencil); all in fine condition. These family letters cover a period of seven years, and consist of fifteen missives from the nurse and health reformer to her 'nephew and niece', a couple to whom she was devotedly attached, if circuitously related. George Lloyd-Verney was not her blood relation; rather, he was the step-son of Florence Nightingale's sister, Parthenope - the second wife of Sir Harry Verney. Sir Harry, an MP and Baronet, had actually first proposed marriage to Florence, in 1857. When she declined he asked Parthenope, and the couple married the following year. In spite of this rapid transfer of ties, Nightingale was a regular visitor to their Buckinghamshire home, Claydon Park, and she maintained an affectionate and matronly relationship with Sir Harry, his son by a previous marriage (to Eliza, daughter of Admiral Sir George Johnstone Hope), and his daughter-in-law, the diminutively named 'Morfy'. These relationships would grow stronger following the death of Parthenope in 1890. (Although, as the letters reveal, Nightingale had already taken charge of Sir Harry's well-being years before, after her sister first fell ill.)

     Extractions: Further Readings BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY The English nurse Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was the founder of modern nursing and made outstanding contributions to knowledge of public health. Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820, of wealthy parents. Her father was heir to a Derbyshire estate. Her mother, from solid merchant stock, dedicated herself to the pursuit of social pleasure within the circumscribed life then proper for women of high station. Though Florence was tempted by prospects of a brilliant social life and marriage, she had a stronger strain that demanded independence, dominance in some field of activity, and obedience to God by selfless service to society. In 1844 Nightingale decided to work in hospitals. Her family furiously resisted her plan, on the ostensible ground that nurses were not "ladies" but menial drudges, usually of questionable morals. Nevertheless, she managed to do some private nursing and then to spend a few months at Kaiserworth, a German school and hospital. In 1853 she became superintendent of the London charity-supported Institution for Sick Gentlewomen in Distressed Circumstances. This opportunity allowed her to achieve effective independence from her family and also to try out novel techniques of institutional organization and management, conducted in a scientific, nonsectarian spirit.

     Extractions: International Association for Nursing Ethics Return to ICNE Index Florence Nightingale The middle-class English woman, Florence Nightingale, may be regarded as the true founder of nursing as a profession. She took a team of nurses to Scutari (now Uskudar, Turkey) in 1854, into the Crimean War. By applying her scrupulous methods she reduced the hospital death rate from 42 percent to 2 percent. Born in Florence, Italy she trained in Germany and France. She wrote the now classic Notes on Nursing . She was awarded the UK's Order of Merit in 1907.
