Extractions: Florence Nightingale orn in Florence, Italy on May 12, 1820 and baptized in the Church of England on July 4, that same year, Florence Nightingale felt her call from God at age 16 as an "inward tug" of mystical experience. She chose not to marry, to pursue her life's ministry of social action, which she described as "mankind creating mankind." She said, "Mankind must discover the organization by which mankind can live in harmony with God's purposes." Founder of modern, secular nursing, she described nurses as the "handmaidens of the Lord." In her early 30s she had already become Superintendent of the Institution for the Care of Sick Gentlewomen in Distressed Circumstances in London, England. She streamlined the physical facility and improved the standard of nursing care and administration. Within two years she had become her country's leading authority on hospitals. A friend wrote of her in these years, " She must be a creature of another race . . . . doing things by impulse or some divine inspiration . . . . she seems too holy to be talked about as a mere wonder . . . . how straight He is sending His Spirit down into her as into the prophets and saints of old." She said of her life's ministry in 1873, "You say that mystical or spiritual religion is not enough for most people without outward form. And I may say I can never remember a time when it was not the question of my life. But the two thoughts which God has given me all my whole life have beenFirst, to infuse mystical religion into the form of others ( always thinking they would show it forth much better than I), especially among women to make them the 'handmaidens of the Lord.'

Extractions: Born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820, Nightingale was raised mostly in Derbyshire, England, and received a thorough classical education from her father. In 1849 she went abroad to study the European hospital system, and in 1850 she began training in nursing at the Institute of Saint Vincent de Paul in Alexandria, Egypt. She subsequently studied at the Institute for Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserswerth, Germany. In 1853 she became superintendent of the Hospital for Invalid Gentlewomen in London. After the Crimean War broke out in 1854, Nightingale, stirred by reports of the primitive sanitation methods and grossly inadequate nursing facilities at the large British barracks-hospital at Üsküdar (now part of Istanbul, Turkey), dispatched a letter to the British secretary of war, volunteering her services in Crimea. At the same time, unaware of her action, the minister of war proposed that she assume direction of all nursing operations at the war front. She set out for Üsküdar accompanied by 38 nurses. Under Nightingale's supervision, efficient nursing departments were established at Üsküdar and later at Balaklava in Crimea. Through her tireless efforts the mortality rate among the sick and the wounded was greatly reduced.

Extractions: Née à Forence en Italie le 12 mai 1820, Nightingale a passsé presque toute sa jeunesse à Derbyshire, Angleterre et a reçu une éducation classique approfondie de son père. En 1949, elle alla à l'étranger étudier le système hospitalier européen et, en 1850 elle débuta sa formation de garde-malade à l'Institute of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul à Alexandria, en Égypte. Ensuite elle étudia à "l'Institute for Protestand Deaconesses" à Kaiserswerth en Allemagne. En 1853 elle devint directrice de l'Hospital "Invalid Gentlewomen" à Londre. Après la déclaration de la guerre de Crimée en 1854, Nightingale touchée par les reportages des installations sanitaires primitives et les équipements infirmiers inadéquats à la grande hôpitale-caserne à Uskúdar (maintenant faisant partie de Istanbul, Turkie), elle envoya une lettre au secrétaire britannique de la guerre, offrant ses services de bénévolat en Crimée. Au même moment, ignorant son offre, le ministre de la guerre proposa qu'elle devienne directrice de toutes les opérations infirmières de la guerre. Elle partit pour Uskudar avec 38 garde-malades. Sous la supervison de Nightingale, des services infirmiers efficaces ont été établis à Uskudar et par la suite à Balaklava en Crimée. À travers ses efforts sans relâche, le taux de mortalité parmi les malades et les blessés baissa considérablement. À la fin de la guerre en 1860, il y eut une levée de fonds pour lui rendre hommage pour ses services, Nightingale devint la fondatrice de la "Nightingale School and Home for Nurses at Saint Thomas' Hospital" à Londre. L'ouverture de cette école a marqué le début de l'éducation professionnelle en soins infirmiers.

Extractions: A inalgamation of Lagos and Southern Nigeria.The political reasons which had resulted in the Nigerian territories being divided into three distinct administrations no longer existing, it was decided to unite them under one government, and as a first step in that direction Sir Walter (then Mr) Egerton was in 1904 appointed both governor of Lagos and high commissioner of Southern Nigeria. This was followed in February 1906 by the amalgamation of the two administrations under the style of the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria, with headquarters at Lagos town. The former colony and protectorate of Lagos (q.v.) became the western or Lagos province of the new administration. In the year the amalgamation was effected the revenue reached a record figure, the amount collected being L 1,088,000, to which Lagos province contributed £424,000. Over 80% of the revenue was derived from customs. In the same year the expenditure from revenue was ~I,o56,ooo. Land TenureSir Percy Girouard devoted much attention to land tenure, probably the most important of the questions concerning imperial policy in West Africa. He adopted the land policy of Sir F. D. Lugard, and recommended a declaration in favour of the nationalization of the lands of the Protectorate This was in accord with native lawsthat the land is the property of the people, held in trust for them by their chiefs, whc have not the power of alienation.

Florence Nightingale was a bright, tough, driven professional, a brilliant organizer and statistician, and one of the most influential women in 19th-century England. By Deborah Pulliam for British Heritage Magazine Florence Nightingale was distinctly not the romantic, retiring Victorian gentlewoman most of us imagine. She was a bright, tough, driven professional, a brilliant organizer and statistician, and one of the most influential women in 19th-century England. Looking through a rough reproduction window at the London museum that bears her name is a little like peering over Nightingale's shoulder in the Crimea and confronting the intimate details of life thereincluding her hand-drawn plan of the nurses' quarters in the Barrack Hospital at Scutari, her personal seal and wax for letters, some of her books and her dispatch case, as well as an original letter written from the hospital and her famous lamp.

http://www.liquidleaf.com/historia/nightingale.html

Extractions: When Florence lived, hospitals in England were unsanitary places where disease could spread easily. Florence wanted to help change this, and even though her parents did not approve, she traveled to Germany to learn more about nursing. Florence became responsible for all of the hospitals in the war zone during the Crimean War. She trained nurses and cleaned up the hospitals. Florence greatly improved the quality of care that soldiers received. She returned to England and started the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses, and helped improve hospital conditions in India and England. Florence wrote books on nursing and hospital design, emphasizing the need for organization, cleanliness and compassion for the sick.

http://www.saunalahti.fi/arnoldus/nighting.html

Extractions: Arno Forsius Florence Nightingale syntyi vuonna 1820 Firenzessä (engl. Florence), jonka mukaan hän sai etunimensä. Hän syntyi toisena tyttärenä hyvin toimeentulevaan englantilaiseen tilanomistajaperheeseen, joka oleskeli silloin Firenzessä. Florencen luonteessa tuli jo varhain esiin voimakas hoivaamisen vietti ja hän päättikin antautua sairaanhoitajattareksi. Nightingalen harras toivomus opiskella vuonna 1845 sairaanhoitoa raukesi tyhjiin. Varakkaaseen keskiluokkaan kuuluva perhepiiri ei hyväksynyt ajatusta, sillä Englannin sairaanhoitajien ammatillinen ja sosiaalinen taso oli perheen tyttären asemaa ajatellen sopimattoman heikko. Nightingale pääsi kuitenkin vuonna 1850 vierailemaan parin viikon ajan Saksassa Theodor Fliednerin johtamassa Kaiserswerthin diakonissalaitoksessa ja vuonna 1851 hän sai opiskella siellä neljän kuukauden ajan. Keväällä 1854 puhkesi ns. Krimin sota ja Englantia järkyttivät uutiset sairaiden ja haavoittuneiden sotilaiden huonosta hoidosta. Ranskalaisten joukkojen keskuudessa tilanne olikin melkoisesti parempi, sillä heillä oli käytössään vapaaehtoisia sairaanhoitajattaria. Silloin Englannissakin ilmoittautui huomattava määrä naisia vapaaehtoisiksi sairaanhoitajattariksi. Nightingale ryhtyi suunnittelemaan liikuteltavan ambulanssisairaalan viemistä Krimin niemimaalle ja hänen toivottiin samalla ottavan huolekseen sotilassairaaloiden hoidon Turkissa.
