Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
Autor de Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not
Sobre El Autor
Born in Florence, Italy, of wealthy parents, Florence Nightingale was a British nurse who is regarded as the founder of modern nursing practice. She was a strong proponent of hospital reform. She was trained in Germany at the Institute of Protestant Deaconesses in Kaiserswerth, which had a program mostrar más for patient care training and for hospital administration. Nightingale excelled at both. As a nurse and then administrator of a barracks hospital during the Crimean War, she introduced sweeping changes in sanitary methods and discipline that dramatically reduced mortality rates. Her efforts changed British military nursing during the late 19th century. Following her military career, she was asked to form a training program for nurses at King's College and St. Thomas Hospital in London. The remainder of her career was devoted to nurse education and to the documentation of the first code for nursing. Her 1859 book, Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not has been described as "one of the seminal works of the modern world." The work went through many editions and remains in print today. Using a commonsense approach and a clear basic writing style, she proposed a thorough regimen for nursing care in hospitals and homes. She also provided advice on foods for various illnesses, cleanliness, personal grooming, ventilation, and special notes about the care of children and pregnant women. On 13 August 1910, at the age of 90, she died peacefully in her sleep at home. Although her family was offered the right to bury her at Westminster Abbey, this was declined by her relatives, and she is buried in the graveyard at St. Margaret Church in East Wellow, Hampshire.

- Florence Nightingale and her older sister Parthenope were born in Italy to a wealthy, well-connected British family and named for the cities of their birth. In 1821, the family moved back to England, where they were brought up at the family estates at Embley Park in Hampshire and Lea Hurst in Derbyshire. They were educated by governesses and by their father. She first achieved fame during the Crimean War (1853-1856), when reports reached England about horrific conditions for the wounded there. In October 1854, she and the staff of 38 women volunteer nurses whom she had trained, and 15 Catholic nuns, traveled from England to Balaklava in the Crimea, where the main British camp was located. At the camp, medicines were in short supply, sanitation and hygiene were practically nonexistent, and mass infections were common, many of them fatal. Adequate nutrition for the patients was also missing. Nightingale sent a plea to The Times of London for government assistance. The British government responded by commissioning a pre-fabricated mobile hospital that could be deployed to the Crimea and other improvements to hygiene and care for the soldiers -- although it took many years and much campaigning on Nightingale's part for real progress to be made. It was during the Crimean War that Nightingale was given the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" from an article about her in The Times. She went on to be a pioneer in social reform and a prolific writer, and won many awards for her work, despite the social restraints on Victorian women and the fact that she was ill in bed for most of the time from 1857 to the 1880s. A statue erected to honor her stands in Waterloo Place, Westminster, London.

I did not finish this book; I read about as much of it as interested me and then moved on, and you can't say fairer than that.
