Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The School Nurse The greatly specialized nursing service of the present time did not suddenly spring into existence, but has been of more or less gradual evolution. At no time throughout recorded history has the condition of the poor and helpless sick failed in appeal to the mercy and sympathy of special groups of individuals. The ancient Egyptians were not unmindful of the humanitarian duty to help them. Long before the Christian era the priests of Israel enjoined their charges "to visit the sick, in order to show sympathy, to cheer, aid, and relieve them in their suffering." With the passing of the old order and the dawning of the new, this work was largely carried on by conventual orders. By the establishment of a training school for nurses in London in 1840, and the founding of the first district nursing association by William Rathbone in 1859, the nursing movement received a distinct impetus, which has expanded to include the many forms of nursing service of the present day and generation. The Beginning Of School Health Supervision. Since it is impracticable to disassociate the school from the home in successful school health work, so, likewise, is it futile to attempt school medical service without considering the school nurse. To France belongs the honor of first beginning school health supervision in 1837, when this duty was imposed on the school authorities by royal ordinance. The first attempt at school health supervision in this country was made in Boston, Mass., in 1894, when school medical inspection was started for the control of communicable diseases. However, it was not until some years later that school nursing became a recognized institution in both this country and England.
