| school nurses save lives: can we provide the data? | vigilance has been central to nursing practice since florence nightingale. often, the nurse's work of surveillance goes unnoticed and the public never recognizes the value of the nurse's work. the 1999 institute of medicine report on hospital deaths due to preventable errors has lifted the veil shrouding professional vigilance. but how to measure vigilance remained elusive, until the concept, failure to rescue (ftr), was proposed. ftr has taken a prominent role in health care since its adoption ... | 2010 | 20606057 |

| florence nightingale: passionate statistician. | nightingale's passionate commitment to statistics was based on her faith in a god of order, who created a world that ran by law. god's laws could be known through research, as a result of which suitable interventions to better the world could be applied. statistics were a vital component in her holistic approach to health care as a system. they served both to indicate serious problems and to assist in policy making, and then again to monitor the effects of the new policies. she pioneered the use ... | 2010 | 20467034 |

| florence nightingale: the evolution and social impact of feminist values in nursing. | although generally recognized as the founder of modern nursing, florence nightingale has been criticized for her apparent lack of support of women's issues, including suffrage. this article examines the primary and supporting literature surrounding this topic. findings indicate that nightingale developed a complex set of beliefs that supported women as individuals rather than from a gender perspective. she did, in fact, support the concept of women's suffrage but did not give it priority. victor ... | 2010 | 20467030 |
| florence nightingale: her personality type. | this article casts new and refreshing light on florence nightingale's life and work by examining her personality type. using the theory-based myers-briggs type indicator (mbti), the author examines nightingale's personality type and reveals that she was an introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging type. the merit of using the mbti is that it allows us to more clearly understand three major areas of nightingale's life that have been partially unacknowledged or misunderstood: her spiritual developmen ... | 2010 | 20467028 |
| florence nightingale: her crimean fever and chronic illness. | florence nightingale's crimean fever and chronic illness have intrigued historians for more than a century and a half. the purpose of this article is threefold: (a) to discuss the facts that point to the cause of nightingale's crimean fever as brucellosis, (b) to show that her debilitating illness for 32 years (1855-1887) was compatible with the specific form of chronic brucellosis, and (c) to present new evidence that she was still having severe symptoms in december 1887, when it was previously ... | 2010 | 20467026 |

| the world's first secular autonomous nursing school against the power of the churches. | secular healthcare practices were standardized well before the churches' established their influence over the nursing profession. indeed, such practices, resting on the tripartite axiom of domus, familia, hominem, were already established in hospitals during the middle ages. it was not until the last third of the eighteenth century that the catholic church imposed its culture on secular health institutions; the protestant church followed suit in 1836. in reaction to the encroachment of religious ... | 2010 | 20602706 |
| florence nightingale: nurse and public health pioneer. | august 2010 marks the centenary of the death of florence nightingale, who must be, without doubt, the most famous name in nursing. most people, even those in the health professions, think of her as 'the lady with the lamp'; the heroine of the crimean war, who tended the sick and wounded soldiers at scutari. important though this was, her main contribution, which continued long after crimea, was in the organization of nursing training, in hospital planning, public and military health, and in effe ... | 2010 | 20081644 |

| remembering florence nightingale's panorama: 21st-century nursing--at a critical crossroads. | florence nightingale lived and worked in response to her times--yet also ahead of her time. she insisted on pursuing a career even though her wealthy family could have provided her with a lifetime of leisure. because she was a woman, this choice to work outside her home was all the more unusual. nightingale was also a vanguard woman because she chose nursing, a role that was considered the work of desperate, impoverished women who lived on the street like prostitutes. in addition to these unusua ... | 2010 | 20664022 |
| nightingale theory and intentional comfort touch in management of tinea pedis in vulnerable populations. | vulnerable populations, specifically migrant farm workers and persons experiencing homelessness, are often at an increased risk for foot infections. this risk is related to their working and living conditions, socioeconomic status, limited access to health care, frequent exposure to wet environments, limited access to clean and dry socks and shoes, bathing or laundry facilities, and daily routines that requires them to be on their feet for long periods of time. after years of caring for these po ... | 2010 | 20660909 |

| integrating healthcare design research into practice: setting a new standard of practice. | it seems safe to conclude that nearly 150 years ago, "the lady with the lamp," florence nightingale, set a course that practice-based healthcare researchers continue to follow today. in her book, notes on nursing (1860), nightingale identified light, ventilation, noise, and sanitation as elements of the environment that affected the well-being of soldiers in her care. today, we attempt to study these same relationships: those that exist between the built environment of healthcare settings, and t ... | 2010 | 21162432 |
| florence nightingale's contribution to contemporary nursing ethics. | florence nightingale brought nursing from a disreputable and immoral vocation into the honest and ethical profession that is enjoyed today by emphasizing strict morals in the personal and work lives of her nursing students. in modern day, ethical principles guide the nursing profession and have many relevant connections to nightingale's morals. just as the high moral character of nightingale's nurses helped nursing rise to a profession in her day, teaching and following ethical principles is cru ... | 2010 | 21149560 |
