Many women performing nursing functions in the almshouses (medical care for all by the Elizabethan Poor Law provided minimal care, most often in almshouses supported by local government, sought to regulate where the poor could live as to provide care during illness) and early hospitals in Great Britain were poorly educated, untrained and often undependable (Stanhope & Lancaster 2012) . Florence Nightingale’s vision to train nurses and her model of nursing education for the nursing profession indirectly influenced the development of public health nursing in the United States (Stanhope & Lancaster 2012) . During the Crimean War, the care of the sick and wounded soldiers was inadequate with cramped quarters, poor sanitation, lice and rats, and limited food and supplies. Nightingale was appointed and sent to Asia Minor to address the situation with 40 ladies, 117 hired nurses, and 15 paid servants. I t was at this time, Nightingale’s concept of public health nursing began to identify health care needs that affected the entire population to mobilize resources and organize themselves and the community to provide needs (Stanhope & Lancaster 2012).

( History of Medicine Division, NLM 2014) The Nursing Profession in the 1900’s compared to Nursing in the 21st century History of Medicine Division, NLM Nursing history Duties of nursing as it is today is virtually unrecognizable when compared to the duties of nurses in the early 20th century. Nursing duties were closer to those of a housekeeper, they cleaned everything from celling to floor and all that is between, cleaning bedsheets to the equipment used by the doctors. They went out into the community and taught how to clean and other basic health care, this was the main role of a nurse. Stopping the spread of disease was the primary goal.

Friedman’s model views family as a subsystem of society and enables nurses to assess the family system as a whole, as a component of society, and as an interactional system (Stanhope & Lancaster, 20012). In this essay, the participating family, M family, was assessed with using the Friedman Family Assessment Model and given priority nursing diagnoses along with community health nursing interventions to influence the issues positively and effectively. Taking into consideration the impact of family structure, roles, and values, the effects of Watson’s theory of human caring on community health nursing is portrayed overcoming these factors and eventually achieve wellness and health for family, community, and all. The Friedman Family Assessment tool contains collection of family data in different areas such as identifying data, developmental stage and history of family, environmental data, family structure, family functions, and family stress and coping (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012). In summary of the M family, this is a two-parent family in which 60 year-old RM is the father and retired nurse, and his wife MM is 59 years of age and currently still working as a nurse.
From a historical viewpoint, this election will be viewed as a turning point in our nation’s history. Fighting in an unsuccessful war and facing an economic crisis, Obama has promised to bring change to our nation.

Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Tiffany C. Dovgan NUR/513 October 15, 2012 Dolores Diehl Historical Development of Nursing Timeline The discipline or practice of nursing has developed over time and many nursing theorists contributed to the professional practice as we know it today. Nursing theories provide structure to the critical thinking and decision- making processes. Theory, research and applications to clinical practice are symbiotic as new concepts, practices and empirical data emerge professional practice changes or evolves. Florence Nightingale’s writings originating in 1859 are considered the first nursing theories postulated. She is known for decreasing mortality rates in hospitals during the Crimean War (George, 2011).
Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Meredith Glivar NUR / 513 December 9th, 2013 University of Phoenix Historical Development of Nursing Timeline The purpose of this paper is to define nursing science, the historical development of nursing over the years while uniting established ideas, theoretical views and established theories. I will additionally explain relationships between nursing and other disciplines such as, (philosophy, religion, education, anthropology, the social sciences, and psychology). Essentially, nursing is described as a science internationally by some individuals like John Daly – Australia: as “A discrete body of knowledge comprising paradigms, frameworks, and theories.” Dr. Gail j. Mitchell – Canada: “Nursing science represents clusters of precisely selected views and values that are crafted into distinct theoretical structures.” My preferred perception of nursing is written by Dr. Teruko Takahashi – Japan: “Nursing science is a unique human science which focuses on phenomena related to human health.” Moreover, Dr. Takahashi continues to describe nursing as unlike natural sciences such as medicine, nursing science focuses on the quality of life for each person.” (George, 2011) Chronological development of nursing theory started out in the year 1850, whereas Florence Nightingale begins her training as a nurse at the Institute of St. Vincent de Paul at Alexandria, Egypt. Florence developed over the years while experiencing training thru Germany: a Protestant religious community, thus moving into Paris: to study with the sisters of Charity, followed by New Zealand. Next she expands her travels to Turkey to assist in the Crimean War.

Facility administrators need to establish a balance between providing a safe environment, while at the same time providing each resident with opportunities for choice, control, and individuality (Kane & Kane, 2001). The staffing levels of professional nurses in a nursing home are not as high as that of a hospital; however, nursing homes have registered nurses on duty that perform assessments, administer medications, perform treatments, and interact with families and physicians, to name some of their many responsibilities. Nursing home residents often become ill. In 1997, there were 1,465,000 nursing home residents and 2.1 million elderly nursing home discharges due to hospitalization and death in the United States (Gabrel, 2000). When a resident is observed to have a condition change, the nurse performs an assessment and makes a decision whether or not to notify the physician and the resident’s family or guardian.
