¶ … Nursing Science
Florence Nightingale (d.1910), founder of modern nursing is born.
Florence Nightingale is widely credited for developing what has been called an 'environmental' theory of nursing. When Nightingale began to practice her craft during the Crimean War, there were no professional protocols for how nurses should behave, nor was nursing a standardized profession. Nightingale suggested the need for cleanliness and well-ventilated areas to facilitate the healing of patients. She also stressed the need for psychological relief from the distress of illness for the sick. "Patients are to be put in the best condition for nature to act on them, it is the responsibility of nurses to reduce noise, to relieve patients' anxieties, and to help them sleep" ("Theory of Florence Nightingale," 2014).

Clara Barton was extremely influential during the Civil War in bringing professional nursing standards to the United States. One of the reasons the Civil War had such a devastating level of causalities were the illnesses that resulted from men's wounds and the poor level of service. Barton refused to be confined by conventional ideas of how a lady should behave. "Barton was never satisfied with remaining with medical units at the rear of the column -- hours or even days away from a fight. At Antietam, she ordered the drivers of her supply wagons to follow the cannon and traveled all night, actually pulling ahead of military medical units" ("Clara Barton," 2014). Barton strove to overcome barriers to high-quality care and later used her energy to found the organization which would play a vital role in relieving the suffering of people around the world as well as in the United States.
