NR 393 Week 3 Discussion: Reflection on
Careful Nursing: With Response
NR 393 Week 3 Discussion and responses
It is hard to find someone who doesn’t know about Florence, Nightingale in Nursing. Without
her contributions, current Register Nurses (RN) cannot be top the list of the most honest and
ethical professions for the 17th years in a row (Brenan, 2018). Nightingale envisioned nurses as a
body of educated women at the time when women were neither educated nor employed in public
service (Florence Nightingale Museum, 2018). I learned about Mary Seacole who was a
Jamaican-born nurse who also helped soldiers during the Crimean War from lesson 3. According
to lesson 3, Mary Seacole went to London to offer her services. Her application to join Florence
Nightingale’s nursing team was refused and many nurses were turned down, whether because of
their class background or, in this case, probably, ethnicity (Science Museum). I was surprised
about the refusal of nurses due to their class background or ethnicities. It was not clearly
identified any reasons for the refusa. However, Fee & Garofalo (2010) stated “Under the
authorization of Sidney Herbert, the Secretary of War, Florence Nightingale brought a team of 38
volunteer nurses to care for the British soldiers fighting in the Crimean War.” Also Florence
Nightingale Museum mentioned “Nightingale met Queen Victoria on many occasions and
exchanged correspondence for over thirty years.” These historical factors about Nightingale
might indicate that racial discrimination might be common at the time, and her wealthy family
background significantly affected her nursing history.
