Florence Nightingale (1859) defined Nursing as having
“charge of the personal health of somebody . . . . . . and what nursing has to do . . . is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.”
Virginia Henderson (1955) defined the purpose of nursing:
“to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to a peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.”
American Nurse Association (1980)
Nursing: A Social Policy Statement
Nursing: A Social Policy Statement
defined nursing as “the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems.”
American Nurse Association (2003) Nursing: A Social Policy Statement, 2nd edition:
“Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human responses, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.”
The nurse’s chief concern is...
the patient’s response to the problem rather than the problem itself.
Highlights for Florence
1860 she organized and developed the first program of training for nurses. She acted as chief advisor for the program. Funded by donations to her after the Crimean War [50,000 pounds in the Nightingale Fund].
