Nursing Education NIGHTINGALE Florence
Nightingale and The Earliest Nursing Education Programs: Women's First 50 Years of Medical Education Break it up in smaller lots
NIGHTINGALE Florence. Collection of 32 pieces celebrating the first 50 years of nursing education which made nursing into the first respected medical profession for women. This collection includes a First Edition of Nightingale's influential guide Notes on Nursing 1859 and a handwritten Nightingale letter with wonderful content on her training school and hospital followed by many more tactile and visual pieces from the period ranging from approximately 1880-1930 when women entered the first official nursing programs to obtain theoretical education on disease prevention and antisepsis practical training in patient-centered care and certification and accolades for their excellent work. <br/><br/>While nursing was initially considered a volunteer service the founding of the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1862 caused rapid changes developing nursing into a true medical profession. Programs opened worldwide basing their training on the "Nightingale Principles" that emphasized patient-centered care through systemic cleanliness and stemming of infection in hospitals. The first time these important ideas were placed in print was in Nightingale's 1859 Notes on Nursing¸ a guide to patient care within the hospital and community which has remained relevant to the present day. A First Edition of Nightingale's Notes on Nursing published before even her training hospital was founded is included with this collection. A wonderful early letter on St. Thomas Hospital the site of Nightingale's first training school which she wrote in 1864 shortly after its founding is included here are well. In this letter Nightingale laments that "poor St. Thomas is in such a "fix & has so many bad friends that he ought to keep all his good ones." She is no doubt referring to the back-handed business deal that led to the hospital's moved to an abandoned music hall with sub-par hygiene for nine years starting shortly after her training program had found its home there. She discusses the immediate effects on her own students "I should never have placed my Probationers at St. Thomas but that Mr Whitfield & Mrs Wardroper were there.and when St Thomas' with its ample income has not contributed one farthing to but has profited by the Services of my Training School." Nightingale herself championed the creation of a new building and helped design it for modern standards of safety and hygiene. Among the first programs to model itself after Nightingale's example wertr the Spelman Nursing Program founded in 1886 and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in 1889. In order to distinguish nurses' uniforms from those of servants the programs instructed nurses to wear pocketed aprons for carrying tools and the schools provided ruffled caps that were easy for patients to identify in hospital hallways. An early vintage cap from circa 1880 is included in this collection.<br/><br/>By the turn of the century nursing education had aligned with university criteria and rigorous training became mandatory. In 1902 the U.S. and New Zealand initiated standard requirements for registered nurses to pass medical examinations; and by 1909 the University of Minnesota was the first to award a bachelor's degree in nursing. In 1919 the U.K. passed the Nursing Act requiring all nurses to join a registry; and in 1923 Yale University School of Nursing became the first autonomous college in the field. Such programs required women to take 2-3 years of medical coursework and pass certification exams. As is evident by this collection's handwritten nursing class notebook these women gained intensive knowledge about anatomy nutrition and disease. The notes in this collection include anatomical drawings as well as detailed information on "the practice of hygiene important in care of patient.how to prevent infection.uses to body of food and amount of food needed by individual patient" based on condition and diagnosis. It comes with a very rare 1911 "The Trained Nurse" booklet which contains educational matter on sexual and dental hygiene for patients to lower the risk of infection as well as information about a nurse's commitment to her training program. OCLC Worldcat lists no other known copies.<br/><br/>After completing classes nursing students apprenticed in their program's hospital until graduation. Instructors and administrators continued to value the use of uniforms and they made the clothing more functional for women whose daily tasks ranged from explaining doctors' diagnoses and treatments during consultations to the dressing of wounds. While uniforms evolved to become more streamlined they still bore visual signs of a student's experience and accomplishments. The nursing cap continued to be the most recognizable sign of entrance to the profession and getting her cap was a formal right of passage to a young nurse. Women only obtained the cap during a ceremony in which nurses from the program pinned the caps to the new nurses' heads. As students rose through the ranks and ultimately graduated they would receive a nursing lapel pin showing their entrance into a specialized field. This collection includes each of these important pieces: a white vintage nursing cap and lapel pin. In addition it contains a handwritten journal with beautiful colored handdrawn illustrations poems and diary entries by a nurse during her hospital training.<br/><br/>The women who graduated from nursing programs had met the mandatory benchmarks; indeed these women also often exceeded requirements and won honors for their work. Celebrating these landmark accomplishments this collection includes a set of 5 turn of the century graduation invitations an early commencement booklet with individual nursing graduation photos 3 early diplomas for women graduating from nursing programs 8 class photos and 7 individual female graduate portraits. The photos visually document the collective changes that these nurses' uniforms underwent across the decades as well as the women's pride in obtaining their degree. The collection also contains a "Champion of Head Nurses" trophy awarded to a young nurse for her leadership within her new hospital.<br/><br/>As this collection shows these women's educations led them to become proud and dedicated professionals excited to apply their knowledge in ways that made a difference.

Florence Alabama: The Church 1943. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 171 v pages. Advertisements. Errata list page 1. Cover title. Table of contents. Third edition. A generous helping of more than nine hundred recipes clearly an act of perseverance to review and produce during wartime. Southern favorites stand in relief: Cracklin Bread Hush Puppies Ambrosia Daube Glacé Cabbage Au Gratin Creole Peas Fried Bananas Black Bottom Pie Pecan Cake. But this is a substantial revision of the second edition and the Women of Trinity Guild were noting with interest recipes from beyond their immediate sphere as much as was the case anywhere else. Three early instances of Italian-American spaghetti exemplify the cuisine's transition from "peasant" food to household staple. Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama's northwestern corner the birthplace of W. C. Handy and by extension it is often said the birthplace of the Blues. The seat of Lauderdale County the city and the surrounding region had become prosperous through its abundant access to water power early in the nineteenth century. Though not the first Episcopalian congregation established in Alabama - Anglicans had already settled in Mobile and Tuscaloosa - Trinity Church founded in 1836 and still an active community lays claim to the title of oldest parish in the Tennessee Valley. Several handwritten corrections in pencil otherwise clean and bright internally. In stapled black-lettered red wrappers worn at the corners and with some good sized chips to the spine. Front panel of wrapper is illustrated with a photograph of Wesleyan Hall University of North Alabama. Good only. Scarce.

Florence Nightingale AUTOGRAPH LETTER Signed regarding One of the first institutions to teach nursing and midwifery as a formal profession for women

She writes:<br/><br/>"My dear sir I was extremely sorry to hear of your approaching resignation of the post of Treasurer of St. Thomas' Hospital. It seems to me poor St Thomas' is in such a "fix" & has so many bad friends that he ought to keep all his good ones. But I was not so much sorry as shocked & surprised to hear the language used concerning Mr. Whitfield. Those persons may rest assured that I should never have placed my Probationers at St. Thomas but that Mr Whitfield & Mrs Wardroper were there. and when St Thomas' with its ample income has not contributed one farthing to but has profited by the services of my Training School." <br/><br/>The Nightingale Home and Training School for Nurses opened its doors to trainees in July 1860 as part of the newly built St. Thomas's Hospital in London.

Burgundy cloth gilt-stamped cover and spine titles dust-jacket; jacket worn and stained with some tape repair. Very good. Dr. George R.

Minot- with the best wishes of Henry Fairfield Osborn December 18th 1930 Congratulations on the well-deserved award." Minot was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine which he shared with William P. Murphy and George H. Whipple. The reference to the "award" in the inscription was not to the Noble Prize which came to Minot in 1934. Also in the inscription the use of the phrase "In memory of" certainly applied to Charles Sedgwick Minot who died in 1914 but not to George since he died in 1955. Osborn himself died in 1935. Two earlier editions of the bibliography had been published the first for the period 1877-1910 and the second for the period 1911-1918. Both were compiled by Harriet Ernestine Ripley and continued thereafter by Janette May Lucas. This bibliography is identified in the text as the third edition but it is the first edition of the complete bibliography. A special copy in every respect.

I: 173 of 174 ff. lacking first leaf of vol. 1; II: 225 of 226 ff. without the final blank. <br><br>The Summa Theologica 1477 more properly the Summa Moralis is the work upon which St. Antoninus's theological fame chiefly rests . . . it is probably the first certainly the most comprehensive treatment from a practical point of view of Christian ethics asceticism and sociology in the Middle Ages" NCE I 647.<br>Â Â Â Â After his ordination in 1413 at Cortona where he was sent for the Dominican novitiate along with artists Fra Angelico and Fra Bartolommeo! Antoninus 13891459 swiftly attained prominence in the Church; returning to his native Florence he consecrated the Convent of San Marco in 1443 and was appointed Archbishop of that city just a few years later. A great yet humble reformer whose writings were widely published even in the incunable period Antoninus was => hailed as a Doctor of the Church in the bull for his canonization.<br>Â Â Â Â The Summa completed shortly before his death is divided into four parts: the first is concerned with the soul and its faculties passions sin and law; the second addresses different types of sin and redress; the third considers various states and professions in life with treatises on ecclesiastical offices and censures; and the fourth contemplates the cardinal virtues religious morals and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Although the text draws heavily on earlier theological works by St. Thomas Aquinas among others it is regarded as => "a new and very considerable development in moral theology" NCE online and it contains => a wealth of matter for the student of 15th-century history.<br>Â Â Â Â Printed in Gothic type double-column format with most capitals supplied in red or blue manuscript in plain style the text here has red markings to aid in reading and navigation. Topics addressed in these volumes include sin penance canon law will original sin privilege lying pride avarice anger and infidelity among several others.<br>Â Â Â Â Goff and ISTC find only one complete set of all volumes in American libraries at the Countway in Boston. All other U.S. libraries save the Newberry report owning one or two of the volumes. The Newberry has volumes IIV.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Old illegible European library stamp in lower margin of first leaf of vol.

Hsia Florence C.
Sojourners in a strange land: Jesuits and their scientific missions in late imperial China
Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2009. 273p. very good hardcover in dustjacket. "Though Jesuits assumed a variety of roles as missionaries in late imperial China their most memorable guise was that of scientific expert whose maps clocks astrolabes and armillaries reportedly astonished the Chinese. But the icon of the missionary-scientist is itself a complex myth. Masterfully correcting the standard story of China Jesuits as simple conduits for Western science Florence C. Hsia shows how these missionary-scientists remade themselves as they negotiated the place of the profane sciences in a religious enterprise." -publisher's blurb.
