1. Mid-19th-Century Nursing in England
Answer
Nightingale went to care for British soldiers in Turkey during the Crimean War (1853-1856),
she took 38 nurses to the British hospital in Scutari, Turkey. With great compassion, and
despitethe opposition of military officers, Nightingale and the other nurses organized and
cleaned the hos- pital and provided care to the wounded soldiers. Armed with an excellent
education in statistics, Nightingale collected very detailed data on morbidity and mortality of
the soldiers inScutari. Using this supporting evidence, she effectively argued the case for
reform of the entireBritish Army medical system.

the first state to have mandatory licensure; however, this was not fully mandated until 1947.

Pool Examination.
7. Men in nursing
Answer
Male students were not allowed in the early nursing schools that enrolled women. The earliest
school established exclusively for the training of men in nursing was the School for Male
Nurses at the New York City Training
School, established in 1886. The Mills College of Nursing at Bellevue Hospital was the second
male school, founded in 1888. In 1898 the Alexian Brothers. Hospital in Chicago established a
nursing school to train men. They opened a second school in 1928 in St. Louis. The Alexian
Brothers ministry dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe, where they tended to the sick and
hungry and, in the mid-1300s, cared for victims of the Black Plague that devastated the
continent. The Alexian Brothers Health System still exists today.
