After graduating from Wheaton in 1948 with a degree in chemistry, she pursued her dream of going to medical school. She applied to both John Hopkins and Harvard. Without Avery knowing at the time, Harvard didn’t accept any females into their program but John Hopkins did. When she got into John Hopkins, it was without a question that’s where she would attend medical school, in fact, her inspiration Emily Bacon went there too.

Florence Nightingale the First Nursing Theorist Kelly Wright University of North Carolina- Greensboro October 11, 11 I, Kelly Wright have abided by the Academic Integrity Policy on this assignment 10/11/11 Florence Nightingale the First Nursing Theorist Born on May 12, 1829 in Florence, Italy (Lobo, 2002), Florence Nightingale would become one of the greatest women in nursing. She was not the typical Victorian woman. She was born into an affluent family, who instead of sending her to school, decided to educate her themselves. Her Father educated her on many subjects that most women of this era were not privy too. As a young woman she felt called by God to help others.
Who had greater influence on the training of women in medicine after 1850 – Florence Nightingale or Elizabeth Garrett Anderson? Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth Garret Anderson were both heavily influential women who played major roles in the training of women in medicine. Before these two women there were no female nurses or doctors in Britain. However after years of demonstrating that women could also be doctors or nurses through hard work they heled change the view of women in medicine and paved way for other females to join the profession. After Nightingale came back to England from the Crimean War, she published two books, Notes on Hospital (1859) and Notes on Nursing (1859).
Science and religion start a new trip together, the first signs of cultural development were on the cloisters. The Medical School of Salerno was a no- religious institution that gave the women the opportunity of learns in fields which were only for men up to that moment. Not only medicine was taught there but it was deposited the medical knowledge of the time. We found Trotula in an educational institution which was considered as the first University in Europe. If she was a teacher of medicine in the school of Salerno, we can say that, previously, she should study there.
On May 12, 1914, 94 years to the day after the birth of Florence Nightingale, another influential nursing theorist was born, Martha Rogers. The eldest of four children Martha earned her Diploma in nursing from Knoxville General Hospital in 1936 followed in 1937 by her Bachelors of Science from Peabody College in Nashville. She later acquired two master’s degrees, one as a teacher and one in public health. She spent her early career in rural public health nursing and visiting nurse supervision, education and practice. In 1954 she was granted a Doctor of Science degree from John Hopkins.

Before this she had, as documented in her notes, only accessed maternity and antenatal services three times. My mentor and I took over her care forty minutes after her arrival, when she was 4cm dilated, and were informed that Edivania expected to have a vaginal delivery. We were also made aware that she was unable to converse, as her understanding of English was limited. Edivania was single, and although a friend had accompanied her to the labour ward, acting as translator, she had to leave after two hours. This left me as Edivania’s only line of support; my mentor periodically came to check all was well but primarily remained with another women in our care.
The neglect from her brother and low self-esteem led to Horney’s depression which would affect her for the rest of her life.
