Include at least one reference (APA style) that justifies your post.

Please post 3 paragraphs for you each question.

1. After reading Chapter 1, do you think Florence Nightingale is relevant in the 21 st century to the nursing profession? Why or why not?

2. What do you think would be the rresponse of historical nursing leaders such as Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Mary Breckendridge if they could see what the profession of nursing looks like today?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Evolution of nursing roles

Introduction

The nursing profession has evolved significantly over the last century. From battlefields to bedsides, nurses have always been at the forefront of healthcare innovations and advances. We’ve seen many changes in how nurses practice their craft—and those changes will continue to evolve as technology develops and other professions grow.

The 20th century was a time of growth and change for the nursing profession.

The 20th century was a time of growth and change for the nursing profession. Nurses have taken on new roles, including being leaders in their communities, as well as having more control over their working conditions.

Nursing education has also evolved to include additional coursework that prepares nurses to perform specific functions in hospitals or other healthcare settings.

Nurses served on the front lines of World War I, World War II and the Korean War.

Nurses served in all three wars, but their roles varied. Nurses were on the front lines and had to deal with injuries, disease and death. They also often worked in hospital settings or field hospitals where they would have access to more advanced equipment than those found in combat zones. In fact, some nurses were even stationed directly at battlefronts—and this was not just a job for women; male nurses were used as well!

Nurses played a critical role in improving hospital conditions and pioneered professional education for nurses.

Nurses played a critical role in improving hospital conditions and pioneered professional education for nurses. As the only people who could care for patients when doctors were absent, nurses were instrumental in improving hospital conditions. They worked hard to improve hygiene and safety standards, while also providing support services such as food preparation and housekeeping. Nurses also pioneered professional education for nurses by teaching classes on how to treat patients effectively (and with compassion).

Nursing has always been inextricably linked with innovation: from Florence Nightingale’s work at Scutari Hospital during World War I to Mary Seacole’s pioneering efforts as an African-American nurse during the American Civil War; from Florence Nightingale’s “magic bullet” approach that saved lives at military hospitals during World War I; from modern surgical techniques developed by Drs Joseph Lister

In 1971, the first male nurse graduated from Yale’s School of Nursing.

In 1971, the first male nurse graduated from Yale’s School of Nursing. This was a milestone that many people weren’t expecting to see happen in the mid-20th century. It’s easy to forget how much time has passed since then—and it’s even more difficult for us today who live in a world where gender equality is becoming more widespread every day—but this was nothing short of revolutionary at the time!

The school is highly regarded as one of the best nursing schools in America today; its curriculum includes both clinical and academic courses taught by professors who have decades of experience teaching these subjects at other universities around the country (including Harvard). The classes are structured so that students can learn about both theory and practice within their chosen field; they’ll also be able to apply what they’ve learned when working with patients through supervised clinical rotations throughout their program.

Nursing is still a predominantly female field, but an increasing number of men are entering the profession.

As you can see, the level at which men enter nursing is still low. This means that they are more likely to be found in higher paying positions and specialties with more autonomy and lower hours.

The following table shows how many nurses each year have been hired through a public hospital system or health system, as well as their average starting salary:

More recently, nurses have taken on new roles as advocates and educators in their communities

Nurses are also leaders in their communities. They can be advocates for patients, and they educate the public about health care issues. Nurses have a responsibility to work with other members of the community to help them understand how to prevent disease, improve their own health and wellness, and prevent injuries or accidents that could lead to serious illness or death.

As you may know, there are many different types of nurses who take care of people throughout their lives: pediatricians (who specialize in young children), family practitioners (who treat adults), geriatricians (who specialize in older people) etc., but these professionals all share one thing in common: they’re dedicated to helping others achieve optimal health!

Nurses are currently leaders and innovators in clinical care at every level.

Nurses are leaders, innovators and educators at every level of clinical care. They are leaders in education because they are responsible for the development of new knowledge about health care delivery. They also play an important role in advocating for their patients’ needs by communicating with other professionals and making recommendations to improve quality of care.

Nurses have been particularly influential in advancing our understanding of women’s health issues such as pre-conception planning and contraception; maternal-child health; family planning; sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); breast cancer screening programs; HIV/AIDS awareness among young people, adolescents and college students; men’s reproductive rights issues including vasectomy reversal procedures performed by trained physicians who perform no elective surgeries on men without their consent or participation (except when necessary because they were not able to express consent at the time).

Nursing has changed dramatically over the last century.

• Nursing has changed dramatically over the last century.

• Nurses have become more specialized, independent and educated.

• They’re also involved in community activities, policy advocacy and research.

Conclusion

While nursing is a female-dominated profession, it’s changing at an unprecedented rate. In the past 100 years, nurses have gone from treating the sick in hospitals to helping people recover in their homes or other places of recovery. The roles they play in these different settings reflect this evolution: as first responders and health care providers, they can offer valuable support to those affected by disasters (like hurricanes). Nurses are also innovators who are constantly working toward new ways of improving clinical care and developing better patient experiences. They play leadership roles in clinical settings across all levels of health care, from hospital wards all way through outpatient clinics; some specialize only in one type of practice area like pediatrics or geriatrics; others specialize more broadly – such as pediatric critical care nurses focused on neonatal intensive care units (NICU) patients
