I grew up in England, and my parents were wealthy and well educated; we had several residences. I was educated by my father, who studied at Cambridge University, and spoke seven languages. I also studied mathematics, philosophy, religion, and statistics and became the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society.
Master's Prepared Nurse Interview The purpose of this paper is to interview a master’s prepared nurse and get more knowledge of the role they play in their career.

She portrays to have lots of knowledge and experience in the nursing profession to share with others. By working with this individual, I have learned that she is an exceptionally energetic and compassionate person, portrays excellent critical care thinking skills, and has a passion for being a nurse in general. After high school, she started her college career at Eastern Kentucky University where her major at this time was undecided.

Maria Montessori, born in 1870 was the first female in Italy to graduate with a degree in medicine in 1894 and later worked as an assistant doctor in a Psychiatric Clinic in the University of Rome. Having the opportunity to work with the retarded children, she said ‘defective children were not extra social beings, not more than – normal ones’ (E.M Standing, Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work, pg 29) In 1898 she was appointed as the director of the Orthophrenic School, where her retarded children were first to have the opportunity to manipulative materials and had proven to be able to help them to normalized. The more Montessori came in contact with these defective children – studying them, meditating over their condition, longing to help them – the more strongly did she come to differ from the generally accepted views with regard to them. It became increasingly apparent to her that mental deficiency was a pedagogical problem rather than a medical one. (E.M Standing, Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work, pg 28) Under her guidance and skilful direction some of these children were able to pass a public examination taken by the normal children.
