Florence Nightingale
Introduction
I chose the video about Nurse Florence Nightingale because she is considered to have
pioneered modern nursing. Even though there have been lots of changes over time, the proposals
she made and the observations she made have been very influential in modern healthcare. For
instance, she made nursing a professional area that was not only for peasants but also for the high
class. She also introduced the environmental theory that focuses on the nurses’ role in
manipulating the environments to ensure proper hygiene and lighting to improve patient
outcomes. Nightingale also encouraged data usage to track changes in healthcare through her
research and data collection and analysis to determine the health issues that impacted British
soldiers in the Crimean War. She also broke the bounds that prevented women from her class
from participating in their societies.
Agree or Disagree with Theorist
My philosophy is that nursing is a career that requires professionals to apply scientific
knowledge and liberal arts to help patients recover. Therefore, nurses establish conducive
internal and external environments for healing. The philosophy agrees with Nightingale’s
environmental theory. It was inspired by Nightingale and her life as a nurse and scholar.
Applying scientific information involves using empirical evidence to guide decisions. As
Nightingale said, hygiene, lighting, and temperature are important. In modern practice, nurses
perform more roles than outlined by Nightingale. However, their primary role remains ensuring
that patients receive the care they require to improve their conditions. Therefore, apart from
3
Nightingale’s theory, my philosophy is also based on my experiences and readings of other
theories that came after Nightingale’s theory was developed.
Surprised
I found it surprising that Florance Nightingale was from a very wealthy family and that
she would have chosen something else that was simpler but still chose to nurse. What shocks me
more is that she chose the path when society and her parents had different plans and negative
views about her work. Her struggle to change healthcare and nursing caused friction with her
family, but she still pursued it. In the 19th century, women of her class were supposed to find
husbands in high society events and marry and remain inactive. Her choice is shocking because
she did not have to struggle as much as she did when she would have chosen other, more fun
things to do that would align with the society of the time. Her mother had different plans for her.
However, Nightingale believed in her calling and did not hesitate to follow it even when it
seemed hard.
Recommendation
I found the video very helpful and insightful for any aspiring nurse. Hence, I would
recommend it to any nurse. It is generally accepted that Nightingale recommended practices that
are now commonplace in nursing. For instance, she used her influence to advocate for change.
An example is that she collected data during the Crimean War that showed that the many deaths
of soldiers due to preventable illnesses were preventable. She also advocated for changes that
improved people’s welfare and showed stakeholders at the time how they should improve
people’s lives. She used her name and knowledge to reach the important stakeholders and call for
the necessary changes. She also showed the necessity of formal training for nurses. Even though
4
she had a calling, she also sought formal training and research to better understand people’s
needs.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Florence Nightingale is among the most memorable and significant people
in nursing. Her work in the 19th century caused important changes in nursing that have enabled
the field to grow to its current heights. She made nursing a respectable career. Her environmental
theory showed the importance of the environment in people’s health outcomes and how nurses
can use it to optimize people’s outcomes. I chose the video because of its impact on me and my
personal philosophy. Therefore, I would recommend other students revise the video to
understand the profession’s history and appreciate the changes that have happened over time to
enable them to practice as they do now.
