Nightingale was known for providing the kind of personal care, like writing letters home for soldiers, that comforted them and improved their psychological health Her group of nurses transformed the hospital into a healthy environment within six months, and as a result, the death rate of patients fell from 40 to 2 percent. In 1857, Florence returned home a heroine. It was the soldiers in Crimea that initially named her the “Lady with the Lamp” because of the reassuring sight of her carrying around a lamp to check on the sick and wounded during the night, and the title remained with her. Published in 1859 Notes on Nursing provides a simple but practical discussion of good patient care, along with helpful hints. According to Florence Nightingale, hygiene, sanitation, fresh air, proper lighting, a good diet, warmth, quietness and attentiveness were necessary conditions for hospitals and were to be ensured by trained nurses. Nightingale implemented handwashing and other hygiene practices in the war hospital in which she worked. More soldiers die because from infection than from bullets she advocated sanitary living conditions as of great importance. EDUCATION PERIOD (18TH – 20TH CENTURY) Florence Nightingale was one of the pioneers in establishing the idea of nursing schools from her base at St Thomas' Hospital, London in 1860 when she opened the 'Nightingale Training School for Nurses’, now part of King's College London. NIGHTINGALE SCHOOL OF NURSING During the war a public subscription fund was set up for Florence Nightingale to continue her education of nurses in England, and the Nightingale Training School at St. Thomas’ Hospital opened in 1860. The education of recruits involved a year of practical instruction in the wards, supplemented with courses of lecturing, and followed by two years of work experience in the hospital. After graduation, many of the students staffed British hospitals, and others spread the Nightingale education system to other countries.  NIGHTINGALE SCHOOL OF NURSING 1. Government funds should allotted to nursing education First nurse political activist 2. Training schools of Nursing should be in close affiliation 3. Professional nurses should train nurses be 4. Nursing students should be provided with residence near their training hospitals Written orders of doctors were insisted Nurses should go with doctors during their rounds 5. All nurses must be trained, in a regular civil hospital 6. Training was fundamentally on the apprenticeship model: hands-on, in the wards, under the ward sister 7. Classes, given by medical doctors, augmented training in the wards 8. The “home sister” or “mistress of probationers” organized the training 9. District nurses had to be hospital trained (or they would not see enough serious cases) 10. Midwifery nurses had to be hospital trained 11. Training was required for administrative positions 12. Probationers kept diaries and case notes of their work, examined by the matron and home sister, and often by Nightingale. 13. A major component of training was moral: ethical standards for patient care 14. Technical training had to be updated 15. A Probationers’ Home should be provided, with a private room for each, comfortable (common) living 16. Responsibility for probationers’ health and safety, including rules to prevent septicemia and ongoing monitoring of probationers’ health 17. Certificates and letters of reference had to be dated and were relevant only for a short time 18. A matron should have a housekeeper under her so that she could concentrate on the nursing and the nurse training 19. The superintendent herself must have the highest knowledge of nursing, be herself resident in the hospital, make the training in nursing her first object, and be herself a trained nurse of the highest order. CONTEMPORARY PERIOD (21ST Nurses earned the respect of CENTURY) those they served with, and What is nursing at present?

University of the Philippines Manila-College of Nursing (1948) The idea of opening the college began in a conference between Miss Julita Sotejo and UP President. In April 1948, the University Council approved the curriculum, and the Board of Regents recognized the profession as having an equal standing as Medicine, Engineering etc. Miss JulitaSotejo was its first dean. NURSING AT PRESENT Nursing at present can be understood as an emerging profession, and an academic discipline. It is also a human science (Mitchell & Cody, 1992). Nursing practice today is an “interaction of the processes of knowing and doing” (Lindeman &McAthie, 1999, p. 35). The nurse of today is a knowledge worker, one who is consciously using knowledge while implementing and evaluating every nursing action (Lindeman &McAthie, 1999). WHERE IS NURSING GOING? Nursing will continue to face the challenges in terms of knowledge development. As an emerging discipline (branch of educational instruction), it was influenced by logical positivism, and thus knowledge generation has stressed traditional, orthodox, and experimental methods, but this era has challenged this viewpoint because nurses are now torn between emphasizing a humanistic holistic focus or objectively and scientifically derive means of comprehending reality (McEwen & Wills, 2007). It is the contention of Brooks & Klein-Kracht(1983) that nursing has returned to its humanistic  philosophical aspects and that it is going back to the basics to “recapture its roots.” WHAT IS IT IN SEARCH OF? Nursing to this day is still in search of nursing knowledge. This search is evident in the statement “ The knowledge that constitutes the discipline has not yet been identified and structured, and agreement has not been reached concerning appropriate and needed inclusions”.( Schlotfeldt, 1992 as cited by McEwen et al, 2007).
