Seacole was originally from the West Indies and voyaged to the Crimean war because she wanted to help nurse the wounded soldiers .This shows that Seacole was in Crimea to actually help the soldiers and aid the medical assistance, I think that this shows the true qualities of the ‘Angel of Mercy’. In comparison, source V speaks of how Florence Nightingale revolutionised the way in hospitals in the Crimea were run. This could be seen from the quotation ‘formidable gifts for organisation’. In contrast, source 2C describes the energy in which Nightingale preformed every task and compares her against the grit and determination of the soldiers. An example of this is ‘battled as valiantly as any soldier in the field to improve conditions’.
Wald witnessed first-hand the poor living conditions of residents in the city. To aid this struggling population, she begins the Visiting Nurse Service in 1893. Two years later, she established the Henry Street Settlement to further aid those in need. Wald also worked on behalf of women’s rights and the welfare of children, founding the Women’s Trade Union League and spearheaded a federal organization to help children. After years lobbying for this idea, the Children’s Bureau was established in 1912.
This paper provides a critical analysis of primary sources, such as publications, diaries and letters by the battlefield nurses and secondary sources addressing the involvement of women nurses (battlefield angels) in the American civil war. Battlefield Nurses during the Civil War Volunteer nurses were invaluably resourceful during the civil war by providing aid and comfort to wounded as well as sick soldiers. At the beginning of the national struggle, the nursing profession was dominated by men due to the consideration that women were too frail to handle the severities of administering to the wounded and sick. The insufficient medical supplies and insufficient medical treatment in

Nursing Code Provisions Two examples of how provisions from a nursing code of ethics have influenced my practice are provisions one and two. Provision one states, “The nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, person attributes, or the nature of health problems.” (“Code of Ethics,” 2014) Recently I cared for a young woman who suffered a PEA arrest (Pulseless electrical activity) secondary to a pulmonary embolism. Her PEA arrest had left her in a vegetative state due to her anoxic brain injury. She and her husband were both very religious and believed in life. Most of the nurses I work with thought the family was being unreasonable stating, “If it were my family member, I would not want his or her life prolonged.” Despite what the nurse believes in, it is important to not disrespect what the family believes in

Do you agree with the view that it was largely as a result of the work of Florence Nightingale that medical care for British soldiers improved during the Crimean War?

All three sources relate to her hard work and show that she had a significant impact on the care of British soldiers. There is no doubt that she contributed to the medical car, but it has been suggested that she did not have the largest impact on medical care.
Oakley found that up until the 1980s pregnancy and childbirth were seen as natural processes and consequently there was less intervention from doctors. However Oakley notes that since then doctors have increasingly medicalised childbirth and pregnancy and taken control from midwives. Doctors now treat pregnant women as ‘patients’ in need of medical treatment. The body as a social construct Feminists have long argued that in modern societies the patriarchal media has pressured women to possess a certain identity and to be thin which can endanger their health by causing diseases such as eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder. Mental health Chesler says labelling is done by a male dominated profession who are more susceptible to mental illnesses.
