3. Introduction
Nursing, a profession that recalls the name of Florence nightingale is indeed
one of the noblest profession in the world. It is the art of caring sick people with the science
of health care. It is the vital component of any form of medical care. The largest group of
workers in the health sectors are those in nursing occupation as nurses and nursing assistants.
In a hospital from a general ward to the operation theatre, nursing forms an integral part. This
is one of the few domains of work that is almost totally dominated by women.
History of nursing education
The nightingale school for nurses
Florence nightingale advocated nursing as both the art and a science. She strongly believed
that the focus of the training school should be nursing education rather than nursing service.
She felt the curriculum should be flexible and stress compassion and empathy for the patient.
She instated that the patient was to be treated as a human not as a disease entity. She also
realized that the clinical practice and theory must be correlated to ensure quality education.
The nightingale school is considered first “modern” school of nursing and the beginning of
the nursing as an organized profession. The programme was one year of length.
In the past the progress of nursing in India has Benn hindered by many difficulties such as
low state women, the system of pardah among Muslim women, caste system among hind us,
illiteracy and poverty etc. Modern nursing education started on the basic of Florence
nightingale work and training plan developed in hospital school of nursing in London, it is
hard to realize that recognized preparation for modern nursing education began with the
establishment of nightingale school of nursing in London.
Florence nightingale is created with rounding ordinary nursing and creating the first
educational system for nurses. After hospital came in to existence in Western Europe and
prior to the influence of Florence nightingale, hospital care was given by women such as
prisoners.
Military nursing
It is the earliest type and 1664 the east India Company helped to start a hospital for soldiers at
fort, St. George madras. In 1797 a lying hospital was built and 1854 government sanctioned
training school for midwives. In 1861 through the reform in military hospital led to reform in
civilian hospitals. This laid foundation for public health nursing.
Civilian hospitals
Nursing in the military hospital was poor quality carried on by male orderliness and the
mental staff, in 1871 the government general hospital, madras, undertook a plan to train
nurses. Nurses were brought from England to be in charge and the first six students were
those who had previously received their diploma in midwifery.
MissionHospitals
Mission hospitals were the first to begin the training if Indian as nurses. In the beginning
there was no uniformity of course or educational requirements. About 1907-1910 the north

4. India united board of examiners for mission hospital was organized and set up rules for
admissions and standards of training and conducted a public examination.
Dufferin fund
Until the late 19th century there was no women doctors and therefore no care for women
except in mission hospitals, this fact was brought to the attention of Queen Victoria. At this
time lady Dufferin was coming out of India with her husband who are on government service.
