SmartCase.com allows users to input and store medical records; sort and organize by subject, case or client; share data with team members, create and deliver a final work product pre-trial -- all at a fully secure Internet site. <br>SmartCase, unveiled at Legal Tech earlier this year, is an online application accessed through a secure Web site for a low monthly fee. Two options are available: SmartCasepro and SmartCaseone. SmartCasepro is designed for firms with multiple users, allowing for data sharing and secure server space to store records. SmartCaseone is ideal for the independent attorney or legal nurse consultant whose storage and usage requirements are likely more modest. <br>Both applications allow subscribers to monitor multiple cases in a single view; incorporate electronic documents, or submit documents to SmartCase for scanning and posting to the appropriate case; embed hyperlinks of imaged documents within the body of a medical summary; and, produce medical work products. <br>"We're enabling users to handle more cases, and cases with demanding information requirements without the need for increased equipment or IT professionals," says SmartCase, Inc., President Carey Marousek. <br>Web-based, SmartCase.com requires no software installation or upgrades. With a subscription users receive SmartDraw's Healthcare Edition CD free-a $449 value. The CD features thousands of medical specific illustrations that can be annotated and incorporated into a compelling analysis of medical data in preparation for deposition or trial. <br>"SmartDraw is easily integrated into our technology," says Marousek. "There is a short learning curve with SmartCase, which is important to our subscribers." <br>Keywords: SmartCase, Inc. <br>This article was prepared by Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week editors from staff and other reports.

It is part of an informal effort by nursing programs at area schools to coordinate efforts to ensure that more nurses are being produced at all levels.<br />Augusta Tech has wanted a nursing program for years. But just in the past year it completed a study showing not only a need but also that the school will be able to count on all of the local hospitals as clinical teaching sites, President Terry Elam said.<br /><br /><b>"The big thing was could we supply the clinical sites," he said.<br /></b><br />University Hospital was a key piece of that, Mr. Elam said. The school is aiming for 25 students a class in the two-year program, which would allow them to become registered nurses, he said. Many of those will go on to a four-year program, either at Medical College of Georgia or perhaps Augusta State University, which nursing leaders said is hoping to convert its two-year program into a four- year baccalaureate program.<br /><br />In addition, MCG is pushing for more graduate education of nurses. Its new Clinical Nurse Leader program allows those with other undergraduate degrees to get a master's degree in nursing.<br /><br />"We did establish our philosophy that we see different roles for the different institutions in this area, but there will be overlapping also," said Lucy Marion, the dean of the MCG School of Nursing.<br /><br />The school will continue its undergraduate baccalaureate program but supports Augusta State getting one "because we support the highest-educated nurse to meet the needs of this very complex health society," she said.<br /><br />Overall, the University System of Georgia plans to increase nursing graduates from 1,900 last year to 2,700 by 2010. That means the state would be producing more than 3,000 new nurses a year.<br /><br />"That's still not enough," Dr. Marion said.<br /><br />The Georgia Hospital Association found in 2006 that 59 percent of the nurses in the state were over age 40 and 27 percent were older than 50 . That means the state will need at least 8,000 more nurses by 2012, according to the Nursing Education Task of the University System of Georgia.<br /><br />That's why University is supporting all of these efforts, said Marilyn Bowcutt, the vice president for patient care services.<br /><br />"We know that we have to start getting more people in the pipeline in order to replace the retiring nurses, for the future," she said.<br /><br /><b>Inc., 1247 Milwaukee Ave., Suite 303, Glenview, IL 60025, USA. <p></p></b></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt;

With $450,000 from the Golden LEAF Foundation, the college and hospital will turn the former Wilson-Greene Mental Health Center on the hospital campus into a lab for nursing students. State-of-the-art mannequins will simulate patient symptoms, reactions and behaviors, giving nursing students safe and realistic opportunities to practice their skills.<br /><br />The Golden LEAF funds will be used to purchase seven high-tech mannequins and three more mannequins that are not quite as sophisticated. The former Mental Health Center will be remodeled as a hospital ward with patient rooms, a nursing station and a simulated environment for students. Cameras will record learning sessions so that procedures can be reviewed and critiqued. </div><br /><div align="justify"><br />The aim of this laboratory and other efforts to encourage nursing students is the national shortage of registered nurses. Nurses have been in short supply for several years with crises arising periodically in various locations.<br /><br />There are many reasons for the nursing shortage, which shows little sign of disappearing:<br /><br />--A study earlier this year estimates that the nation's nursing shortage will increase to 340,000 by 2020.<br /><br />--A 2006 study found that 55 percent of registered nurses, including a majority of nurse managers, intend to retire between 2011 and 2020.<br /><br />--Although employment of registered nurses in hospitals increased by 185,000 between 2001 and 2004, more than 80 percent of physicians and nurses thought their hospitals told a poll they thought there was a nursing shortage where they worked.<br /><br />--Nurses are older as fewer young people enter the profession. In March 2004, the average registered nurse was 46.8 years old, and only 8 percent of the nursing population was under 30.<br /><br />--Nurses are essential to health care. They are the first line of contact with patients and are expected to handle increasingly sophisticated and complicated procedures. Without an adequate supply of good nurses, hospitals and other medical facilities cannot function.<br /><br />The effort by Wilson Medical Center and Wilson Community College should help ease the nursing shortage by improving training of student nurses. Golden LEAF or another philanthropy might also consider scholarships for nurses who will agree to work in underserved rural areas, where recruiting medical professionals can be difficult.<br /><br />Inc., 1247 Milwaukee Ave., Suite 303, Glenview, IL 60025, USA.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503732791294005663.post-25628063711440795162008-04-13T06:32:00.000-07:002008-04-13T13:13:02.935-07:00Training Nurses<span class="smbold"></span><br /><br /><span class="smbold" style="color:#009900;"><strong>Training nurses </strong></span><br /><br /><div align="justify"><br /><span class="sm">Times of London</span> <span class="sm">03-07-2008</span><br /><br /><span class="sm">Training nurses<br />Edition: Final 1<br />Section: Features<br />Type: Letter<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>S</strong></span>ir, I write in support of Lord Mancroft's comments on his nursing care while in hospital (report, March 1). I was the head of a large nurse training school until I retired in 1989 and had the misfortune to be admitted for nearly a month to a medical ward. I could not believe the poor personal care I received. It was so bad that after a week I made a formal complaint, and things improved somewhat. When discharged I made a further formal complaint and received an apology.<br /><br />However, this did not address the root cause - the absence of qualified nurses giving personal care, and the total absence of senior nurses with management titles such as "quality control" in clinical areas. In addition, trainee nurses are placed on wards and left to work with nursing assistants with no one teaching them the art of nursing. Nursing is a practice-based discipline and cannot be taught in institutes of higher education by teachers who never go near clinical areas, and haven't for years.<br />What is required is an inquiry by the Department of Health and the statutory body with input from the Royal College of Nursing into the current model of nurse management of patient care in hospital and a suitable replacement.<br /><br />B.E.

It had birth defects and a feeding tube running from its nose to its stomach. The tube would frequently become blocked or dislodged.<br />An overwhelmed McCallum found herself in tears after many shifts. The company she was working for had not provided her with any training.<br /><br />"They just threw me right in. That's where more intense experience in school would have been a benefit."<br /><br />McCallum, who provides in-home nursing to clients in Listowel, Brussels and the surrounding area, now works full-time for Care Partners, which she said provides excellent orientation and training.<br /><br />McCallum is a member of The Nursing Shortage and You, a new advocacy group of nurses in Waterloo Region and surrounding counties.<br /><br />Their concerns include the clinical preparedness of today's university trained nurses. Some say skills of new graduates were better under the former diploma programs.<br /><br />She said the theoretical training at the University of Windsor was outstanding, but more "hands-on" experience would have been beneficial.<br /><br />"I have a problem with what's in the curriculum," said advocacy group member Ferne Schwartzentruber, a retired nurse who has worked in home care, long-term care and hospitals. "Just get back to the basics."<br /><br />Beatrice Mudge, chief nursing executive at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, said today's new nurses are educationally well-prepared, especially in assessing patients.<br /><br />But Lois Gaspar, chair of nursing programs at Conestoga College, which runs a degree program for nurses, says that the hours of clinical training are about the same as in the former diploma program, though they are distributed differently.<br /><br />Gaspar said no training program can guarantee all students will encounter patients needing every kind of skill.<br /><br />"That's not much different than when I was a nursing student," she said.<br /><br />With patients sicker and workloads heavier today, new nurses need a chance to become workload ready, said Doris Grinspun, executive director of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.<br /><br />A number of new graduates have left nursing in the past five years, added Vicki McKenna, first vice-president of the Ontario Nurses Associ-ation.<br /><br />"They left because they don't have the skills. They didn't have the support they needed in their workplace to continue working."<br /><br />McCallum said it took about a year for her to feel confident in her work, but she loves her job providing community care and is willing to work for a few dollars an hour less than her hospital counterparts for a flexible schedule and close relationships with clients.<br /><br />But if the wage gap of nearly $3 to $5 an hour between community and long-term care nurses and hospital nurses isn't closed, nurses will migrate to hospitals, she predicted.<br /><br />The home care clients and nursing home residents of today require complex care that would have kept them in hospital just a few years ago.<br /><br />Some new nurses have told McKenna that with student loans of $40,000 they must go where the compensation they receive is best.<br /><br />David Murray, executive director of the Waterloo-Wellington Community Care Access Centre, said there are significant nurse shortages in community care.<br /><br />But he expects competition from other sectors will force wages "to some equilibrium."<br /><br />Health Minister George Smitherman said that the gap is closing annually and extra measures are not planned.<br /><br />In the meantime, Ferne Schwartzentruber, a retired registered nurse who has worked in all sectors, said some smaller rural nursing homes can't always fulfil their obligation to have an RN on site overnight because of short-staffing. That poses a risk to residents safety, she said.<br /><br />akelly@therecord.com<br /><br />Copyright (c) 2008 Metroland Media Group Ltd.

After the war the volunteers spearheaded a movement for formal nurses' training. Simultaneously, hospitals also recognized a need for more skilled, disciplined, and competent nurses to improve the quality and efficiency of care.</p><p align="justify">By the early twentieth century women wishing to nurse "bartered" two or three years of service to hospitals in exchange for a diploma that promised entry into a respectable, autonomous form of work, free from the constraints that accompanied other "women's" occupations, such as teaching, factory labor, or domestic service. But it was not always a fair exchange. Hospitals quickly recognized student labor as a cheap and easily exploited commodity. They structured training around their own staffing needs. Upon graduation, nurses found themselves in sex-stereotyped, overcrowded, and isolated practice, competing for jobs with poorly trained women and also with new nursing graduates.</p><p align="justify">Leaders among nurses -- most often the directors of large, prestigious, urban schools -- addressed these problems by attempting to professionalize nursing education and practice. By the early 1920s, nurses created the American Nurses Association (ANA), and successfullylobbied for strict registration credentials. However, the initial registration laws were voluntary.<br />It was not until the 1930s that registration became a legal prerequisite to practice. By that time, nurses themselves had actively proved their worth. Public health nurses, in particular, had moved aggressively to carve an independent domain of responsibility for the health care of immigrants and the working poor in urban areas. Funded by both private and public monies, these women brought health care to those people whom other clinicians were unable or unwilling to serve.<br /></p><p align="justify">African Americans similarly supported their own community's nurses. Barred by racist custom and often by law from working in the U.S. health care system, Black communities established hospitals for their sick and offered nurses' training schools for Black women. These activities strengthened the reciprocal bonds between Black nurses and the people they served, despite the nurses' continued exclusion from the white-run health care system. African American nurses established an ongoing commitment to care for people of color, particularly in the South, where doctors were scarce and health care limited. These nurses garnered respect and a status within the Black community often denied their white sisters, although they earned less and worked under much harsher conditions.<br /></p><p align="justify">In 1908 African American nurses, excluded from many of the state nurses' associations, organized the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses (NACGN) to represent their interests and to push for full integration into nursing's social and professional life. Their moment came at the end of World War II when, in 1945, the army and the navy nurse corps opened their doors to African American nurses. In 1948 the ANA followed suit and in 1951 the NACGN disbanded. In 1971 the National Black Nurses Association formed, both out of concern that the ANA had failed to recognize the contributions of African American nurses and out of a vision to increase the numbers of and the opportunities for all nurses of color.<br /></p><p align="justify">In the postwar era, rapid changes occurred in health care treatments, technologies, research, and financing. These changes redefined nursing practice. In the new intensive care units, for example, one's background and education (in nursing, as in other professions, code words for race and class) often mattered less than one's skill and competence. Nurses then began organizing in new ways. Clinical associations now promised to be a bridge of sorts among nurses from diverse backgrounds and with professional aspirations.Black Women in White: Racial Conflict and Cooperation in the Nursing Profession, 1890 - 1950, Darlene Clark Hine (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1989)Ordered to Care: The Dilemma of American Nursing, 1850 - 1945, Susan Reverby (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987)<br />Patricia D'Antonio </p><p>(c) Copyright 1998 Houghton Mifflin </p><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503732791294005663.post-87152194270487675892008-03-02T01:03:00.000-08:002008-04-13T08:02:37.309-07:00Florence Nightingale -The Lady with the Lamp<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"><img height="385" alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Florence_Nightingale_1920_reproduction.jpg/250px-Florence_Nightingale_1920_reproduction.jpg" width="250" border="0" /><br /></a></div><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"><br /></a><table class="infobox vcard" style="FONT-SIZE: 85%; WIDTH: 390px; HEIGHT: 217px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><tbody><tr><th>Born</th><td><br />12 May 1820<span style="DISPLAY: none"><span class="bday">820-05-12</span>)</span><br />Florence<br />Grand Duchy of Tuscany</td></tr><tr><th>Died</th><td>13 August 1910 (aged 90)<br />Park Lane, London, England.<br /></td></tr><tr><th>Profession</th><td>Nurse</td></tr><tr><th>Institutions</th><td>Selimiye Barracks,Scutari</td></tr><tr><th>Specialism</th><td>Hospital hygiene and sanitation</td></tr><tr><th>Known for</th><td>Pioneering modern nursing</td></tr><tr><th>Notable prizes</th><td>Royal Red Cross<br /><span class="mw-redirect">Order of Merit</span></td></tr></tbody></table><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"><br /><span class="inline_title">Florence Nightingale</span> (1820-1910), British nurse and hospital reformer who became internationally known as the founder of modern <span style="font-size:+0;">nursing</span>.

William Nightingale was born William Edward Shore. His mother Mary <i>née</i> Evans was the niece of one Peter Nightingale, under the terms of whose will William Shore not only inherited his estate Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, but also assumed the name and arms of Nightingale. Fanny's father ( Florence's maternal grandfather) was the abolitionist Will Smith.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Inspired by what she took as a Christian divine calling, experienced first in 1837 at Embley Park and later throughout her life, Nightingale committed herself to nursing (though discouraged by her parents). This demonstrated a passion on her part, and also a rebellion against the expected role for a woman of her status, which was to become a wife and mother. In those days, nursing was a career with a poor reputation, filled mostly by poorer women, "hangers-on" who followed the armies.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since October 2007" style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">[<i>citation needed</i>]</span></sup> In fact, nurses were equally likely to function as <span class="mw-redirect">cooks</span>.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><br /><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since October 2007" style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"></span></sup></a></p><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Nightingale announced her decision to enter nursing in 1845 bringing intense anger and distress to her family particularly her mother.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">She cared for poor and indigent people. In December 1844, in response to a pauper's death in a workhouse infirmary in London that became a public scanda, she became the leading advocate for improved medical care in the infirmaries and immediately engaged the support of <span class="mw-redirect">Charles Villiers</span>, then president of the Poor Law Board. This led to her active role in the reform of the <span class="mw-redirect">Poor Laws</span>, extending far beyond the provision of medical care. She was later instrumental in <span class="mw-redirect">mentoring</span> and then sending <span class="mw-redirect">Agnes Elizabeth Jones</span> and other Nightingale Probationers to Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Nightingale was courted by politician and poet Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton, but she rejected him, convinced that marriage would interfere with her ability to follow her calling to nursing. When in Rome in 1847, recovering from a mental breakdown precipitated by a continuing crisis of her relationship with Milnes, she met Sidney Herbert, a brilliant politician who had been Secretary at War (1845–1846), a position he would hold again during the Crimean War. Herbert was already married, but he and Nightingale were immediately attracted to each other and they became lifelong close friends. Herbert was instrumental in facilitating her pioneering work in Crimea and in the field of nursing, and she became a key advisor to him in his political career. In 1851 she rejected Milnes' marriage proposal against her mother's wishes.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Nightingale also had strong and intimate relations with Benjamin Jowett, particularly about the time that she was considering leaving money in her will to establish a Chair in Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">In 1850 she visited the Lutheran religious community at Kaiserswerth-am-Rhein where she observed Pastor Theodor Fliedner and the deaconesses working for the sick and the deprived. She regarded the experience as a turning point in her life, and issued her findings anonymously in 1851; <i>The Institution of Kaiserswerth on the Rhine, for the Practical Training of Deaconesses, etc.</i> was her first published work.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">On 22 August 1853, Nightingale took a post of superintendent at the Institute for the Care of Sick Gentlewomen in Upper Harley Street, London, a position she held until October 1854. Her father had given her an annual income of £500 (roughly £25,000/US$50,000 in present terms), which allowed her to live comfortably and to pursue her career. <span class="mw-redirect">James Joseph Sylvester</span> is said to have been her mentor.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"><br /></a><h3><span class="mw-headline"><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Crimean War</a></span></h3><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Florence Nightingale's most famous contribution came during the Crimean War, which became her central focus when reports began to filter back to Britain about the horrific conditions for the wounded. On 21 October 1854, she and a staff of 38 women volunteer nurses, trained by Nightingale and including her aunt Mai Smith,<sup class="reference" id="_ref-3">[5]</sup> were sent (under the authorization of Sidney Herbert) to Turkey, about 545 km across the Black Sea from Balaklava in the Crimea, where the main British camp was based.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Nightingale arrived early in November 1854 at Selimiye Barracks in Scutari (modern-day Üsküdar in Istanbul). She and her nurses found wounded soldiers being badly cared for by overworked medical staff in the face of official indifference. Medicines were in short supply, hygiene was being neglected, and mass infections were common, many of them fatal. There was no equipment to process food for the patients.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Florence and her compatriots began by thoroughly cleaning the hospital and equipment and reorganizing patient care. However, during her time at Scutari, the death rate did not drop; on the contrary, it began to rise. The death count would be highest of all other hospitals in the region. During her first winter at Scutari, 4077 soldiers died there. Ten times more soldiers died from illnesses such as typhus, <span class="mw-redirect">typhoid</span>, cholera and dysentery than from battle wounds. Conditions at the temporary barracks hospital were so fatal to the patients because of overcrowding and the hospital's defective sewers and lack of ventilation. A sanitary commission had to be sent out by the British government to Scutari in March 1855, almost six months after Florence Nightingale had arrived, which flushed out the sewers and improved ventilation. Death rates were sharply reduced.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg">Nightingale continued believing the death rates were due to poor nutrition and supplies and overworking of the soldiers. It was not until after she returned to Britain and began collecting evidence before the Royal Commission on the Health of the Army, that she came to believe that most of the soldiers at the hospital were killed by poor living conditions. This experience would influence her later career, when she advocated sanitary living conditions as of great importance. Consequently, she reduced deaths in the Army during peacetime and turned attention to the sanitary design of hospitals.</a></p><a class="image" title="Florence Nightingale 1920 reproduction.jpg"></a><p><a id="The_Lady_with_the_Lamp" name="The_Lady_with_the_Lamp"></a></p><h4><span class="mw-headline">The Lady with the Lamp</span></h4><p>During the Crimean campaign Florence Nightingale gained the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp", deriving from a phrase in a report in <i>The Times</i>:</p><blockquote><p>She is a ‘ministering angel’ without any exaggeration in these hospitals, and as her slender form glides quietly along each corridor, every poor fellow's face softens with gratitude at the sight of her. When all the medical officers have retired for the night and silence and darkness have settled down upon those miles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a little lamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds.</p></blockquote><p>The phrase was further popularised by <span class="mw-redirect">Henry Longfellow</span>'s 1857 poem "Santa Filomena":</p><blockquote><p>Lo! in that hour of misery<br />A lady with a lamp I see<br />Pass through the glimmering gloom,<br />And flit from room to room.</p></blockquote><p><a id="Return_home" name="Return_home"></a></p><h3><span class="mw-headline">Return home</span></h3><p>Florence Nightingale returned to Britain a heroine on 7 August 1857, and, according to the BBC, was arguably the most famous Victorian after Queen Victoria herself. Nightingale moved from her family home in Middle Claydon, Buckinghamshire, to the Burlington Hotel in Piccadilly. However, she was stricken by a fever, probably due to a chronic form of Brucellosis ("Crimean fever") that she contracted during the Crimean war. She barred her mother and sister from her room and rarely left it.</p><p>In response to an invitation from Queen Victoria – and despite the limitations of confinement to her room – Nightingale played the central role in the establishment of the Royal Commission on the Health of the Army, of which Sidney Herbert became chairman. As a woman, Nightingale could not be appointed to the Royal Commission, but she wrote the Commission's 1,000-plus page report that included detailed statistical reports, and she was instrumental in the implementation of its recommendations. The report of the Royal Commission led to a major overhaul of army military care, and to the establishment of an Army Medical School and of a comprehensive system of army <span class="mw-redirect">medical records</span>.</p><p><a id="Later_career" name="Later_career"></a></p><h3><span class="mw-headline">Later career</span></h3><p>While she was still in Turkey, on 29 November 1855, a public meeting to give recognition to Florence Nightingale for her work in the war led to the establishment of the Nightingale Fund for the training of nurses. There was an outpouring of generous donations. Sidney Herbert served as honorary secretary of the fund, and the Duke of Cambridge was chairman. Nightingale was also considered a pioneer in the concept of <i>medical tourism</i> as well based on her letters from 1856 in which she would write of spas in Turkey detailing the health conditions, physical descriptions, dietary information, and other vitally important details of patients whom she directed there (which was significantly less expensive than Switzerland). She was obviously directing patients of meagre means to affordable treatment.</p><p>By 1859 Nightingale had £45,000 at her disposal from the Nightingale Fund to set up the Nightingale Training School at <span class="mw-redirect">St. Thomas' Hospital</span> on 9 July 1860. (It is now called the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery and is part of King's College London.) The first trained Nightingale nurses began work on 16 May 1865 at the Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary. She also campaigned and raised funds for the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital in Aylesbury, near her family home.</p><p>Nightingale wrote <i>Notes on Nursing</i>, which was published in 1860, a slim 136 page book that served as the cornerstone of the curriculum at the Nightingale School and other nursing schools established. <i>Notes on Nursing</i> also sold well to the general reading public and is considered a classic introduction to nursing. Nightingale would spend the rest of her life promoting the establishment and development of the nursing profession and organizing it into its modern form.</p><p>Nightingale's work served as an inspiration for nurses in the American Civil War. The Union government approached her for advice in organizing field medicine. Although her ideas met official resistance, they inspired the volunteer body of United States Sanitary Commission.</p><p>In 1869, Nightingale and <span class="mw-redirect">Elizabeth Blackwell</span> opened the Women's Medical College.</p><p>In the 1870s, Nightingale mentored Linda Richards, "America's first trained nurse", and enabled her to return to the USA with adequate training and knowledge to establish quality nursing schools. Linda Richards went on to become a great nursing pioneer in the USA and Japan.</p><p>By 1882, Nightingale nurses had a growing and influential presence in the embryonic nursing profession. Some had become matrons at several leading hospitals, including, in London, <span class="mw-redirect">St Mary's Hospital</span>, Westminster Hospital, St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary and the <span class="mw-redirect">Hospital for Incurables</span> at Putney; and throughout Britain, e.g. <span class="mw-redirect">Royal Victoria Hospital</span>, Netley; Edinburgh Royal Infirmary; Cumberland Infirmary; Liverpool Royal Infirmary as well as at Sydney Hospital, in New South Wales, Australia.</p><p>In 1883, Nightingale was awarded the Royal Red Cross by Queen Victoria. In 1907, she became the first woman to be awarded the <span class="mw-redirect">Order of Merit</span>. In 1908, she was given the Honorary Freedom of the City of London.</p><p>By 1896, Florence Nightingale was bedridden. She may have had what is now known as chronic fatigue syndrome. Her birthday is now celebrated as the International CFS Awareness Day. During her bedridden years, she also did pioneering work in the field of hospital planning, and her work propagated quickly across England and the world.</p><p>Nightingale was a <span class="mw-redirect">Christian universalist</span>.<sup class="reference" id="_ref-6">[8]</sup> On 7 February 1837 – not long before her 17th birthday – something happened that would change her life: "God spoke to me", she wrote, "and called me to His service."<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since October 2007" style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">[<i>citation needed</i>]</span></sup></p><p><a id="Death" name="Death"></a></p><br /><h2><span class="mw-headline">Death</span></h2><p>On 13 August 1910, at the age of 90, she died in her room at 10 South Street, Park Lane.

She had a special interest in statistics, a field in which her father, a pioneer in the <span class="mw-redirect">nascent</span> field of epidemiology, was an expert. She made extensive use of <span class="mw-redirect">statistical analysis</span> in the compilation, analysis and presentation of statistics on medical care and public health.</p><p>Nightingale was a pioneer in the visual presentation of information. Among other things she used the pie chart, which had first been developed by William Playfair in 1801. After the Crimean War, Nightingale used the <span class="new">polar area chart</span>, equivalent to a modern <span class="new">circular histogram</span> or <span class="new">rose diagram</span>, to illustrate seasonal sources of patient mortality in the military field hospital she managed. Nightingale called a compilation of such diagrams a "coxcomb", but later that term has frequently been used for the individual diagrams. She made extensive use of coxcombs to present reports on the nature and magnitude of the conditions of medical care in the Crimean War to Members of Parliament and civil servants who would have been unlikely to read or understand traditional statistical reports.</p><p>In her later life Nightingale made a comprehensive statistical study of sanitation in Indian rural life and was the leading figure in the introduction of improved medical care and public health service in India.</p><p>In 1859 Nightingale was elected the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society and she later became an honorary member of the American Statistical Association.</p><p><a id="Literature_and_the_women.27s_movement" name="Literature_and_the_women.27s_movement"></a></p><h3><span class="mw-headline">Literature and the women's movement</span></h3><p>While better known for her contributions in the medical and mathematical fields, Nightingale is also an important link in the study of English feminism. During 1850 and 1852, she was struggling with her self-definition and the expectations of an upper-class marriage from her family. As she sorted out her thoughts, she wrote <i>Suggestions for Thought to Searchers after Religious Truth</i>. The three-volume book has never been printed in its entirety, but a section, called <i>Cassandra</i>, was published by Ray Strachey in 1928. Strachey included it in <i>The Cause</i>, a history of the women's movement. Apparently, the writing served the original purpose of sorting out thoughts; Nightingale left soon after to train at the Institute for deaconesses at Kaiserwerth.</p><p><i>Cassandra</i> protests the over-feminization of women into near helplessness, such as Nightingale saw in her mother and older sister's lethargic lifestyle, despite their education. She rejected their life of thoughtless comfort for the world of social service. The work also reflects her fear of her ideas being ineffective, as were Cassandra's. Cassandra is a virgin-priestess of Apollo who receives a divinely-inspired prophecy, but her prophetic warnings go unheeded. Elaine Showalter called Nightingale's writing "a major text of English feminism, a link between Wollstonecraft and Woolf."<sup class="reference" id="_ref-9">[11]</sup></p><p><a id="Theology" name="Theology"></a></p><h3><span class="mw-headline">Theology</span></h3><p><i>Suggestions for Thought</i> is also Nightingale's great work of theology, her own <span class="mw-redirect">theodicee</span>, where she develops her radical heterodox ideas.
