- This is Part 1 of 2 about a quick BRIEF HISTORY OF NURSING!!!
Learn about how and where nursing began, from Florence Nightengale to Clara Barton. Nursing was NOT always the respected profession it is today. It started from a person of low to no respect, societal outcast to a respected, educated, and professional caregiver...and the most trusted and respected profession in THE WORLD!!!

really enjoyed this History of Nursing, thankyou, I am currently a mature student studying a Bachelor's Degree in Scotland. and am loving every minute. would love to see more men enter this profession , and feel this should be promoted more in schools etc.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it...Be sure to watch part 2 which is about Florence Nightengale...and also my Nightengale Song!!!
Thank you for watching… and yes more men would be nice… but either way , nursing should be a gender-less profession, but is not always… due to cultures and patient preference!
Best of luck in your studies… come back for more nursing educational video!
5 months into my nursing degree and this is brilliant we have to do the history in jan before im out on my first placement. Im doing mental health nursing but first year is just nursing as a whole so this us a help rhank you!
Thanks for the comment!
Not a nursing student but a med student, in our university we have this session where we have to study about nursing and its importance and Important role of nurses.
Well I appreciate that you are learning what nurses do, cause we are your colleagues, as well as your team members. All for the patient!
Keep studying and good luck in Medical School!!!!!
Great video! I am graduated from Labouré College of Healthcare in Boston Mass with Associate degree first 2017 and pursued my BSN 2019. I am currently enrolled in MSN, AGNP program at Maryville university. I really love this profession. Thanks to all those wonderful women who paved the way.
Thank you for the comment! and congrats to you for all you are doing!!! Growing yourself, the profession, and helping patients!!!
I did nursing in Colombia, South America, where I got a BSN back in 2004, now working in Florida in an outpatient clinic. I found how fascinating can be our career and be able to work almost everywhere. I learned in Nursing School part of the details you share in your video, but you went more in detail how nursing evolved in USA 🇺🇸 very nice video 👍
That is what can keep the job interesting...the versatility! Thank you for watching!!!!!!
im a VN Instructor in California and I show this video to every new cohort. Your video really puts our profession in perspective and stimulates so much conversation! Thank you
Thank you! Yes Please share, Thank you for your support!
Factually incorrect though. Nurses were actually prostitutes recruited after the burning times of the witches were exterminated. "Good women were not able to see a naked body other than her husbands" The herbalists and healers were killed for their knowledge. Modern nursing is a business.
You are indeed a credit to our profession. Thank you so much for all your research to bring us these lessons 👍
You are welcome, thank You for the comment and for watching !
I am studying foundations and your video help a lot with 2 quizzes yesterday. Thank you!!!
You are welcome! Glad it helped! Keep on watching!!!
This is awesome. I can remember the Sarah Gamp's Enema Camp nursing parody when I was in nursing school and thoroughly appreciate the need for a (very dark) sense of humor. i got my associate's degree in a community college and my rn to bsn was at a state run university.
Thank you for watching!!! Keep on Nursing!

Very informative video. I hope that Emts and paramedics in the EMS profession can develop a similar pathway as the Nursing profession did.
Literally why I clicked this video lol. Wanted to know how they grew and got so well established so we can copy it 😂
@@minutemanmedic4143 haha I like your thinking. But yeah, I feel if we can follow the blueprint of the nursing field, we can somehow implement it in our field. I love this field and It would be an amazing thing to see EMS grow into what nursing is now.

You are welcome....keep watching, I'm making new videos to help nursing students along their journeys!

I went to the Royal Adelaide School of Nursing. Training was rigorous & on the job oriented. Then I went to Flinders University to get a Degree in Nursing. I felt that even though I trained as a student nurse I seemed to be advanced in procedures compared to college trained nurses. As a student I worked in Orthopaedic, Colorectal, General Medical, Oncology, Haematology, Plastics, Thoracic, Neurology, Renal, District Nursing, Paediatric ( Intensive care,Thoracic, Haematology,& Oncology), Theatre, Accident & Emergency, Recovery, Intensive Care, Burns Unit, Cardiac & General Surgical to name a few. Rather like an Intern Doctor. We also did shift work- including night duty( approx. 12 weeks)
When I did my degree I worked in 2 areas- Cardiac & Colorectal! Those in college/university undergoing their degree for 3 years worked a fraction compared to what I did as a student.
Working & studying was hard & our pay was poor- but I think it was a better way. Better pay of course is obvious.
That’s some impressive training!!!
Thanks I’m in sinclair college pursuing my RN wish me well
Good Luck...You can do it!!!!!Stay focused, stay safe!!!
Me too :) Good luck!
Me too .. good luck
Thank you so much your video helped me understand the history of nursing

One that you can share ideas with, and possible observe you, and closely work with you. I can be a virtual mentor to you, but really recommend someone closer to you.

Hello, as someone who specializes in nursing education, can you tell me a little about what the standards are for nurses who are educated/licensed in one country, but move to another country? Thank you.
Hello there... when attempting to work in the United Stated, a licensed nurse from another country, must take the NCLEX exam (Nursing Exam) in the US for whichever state they are going to work in...each state has their own exam, possibly take and pass and English proficiency exam, and maybe "other" educational requirements may be necessary in order to take the NCLEX. Hope that helps.
@@NurseMasterCharlieRN Yes, this does help. Thank you! I will look into the NCLEX exam information more and share with my nursing friends who are considering immigrating or furthering their education in the US.
I love this...
I'm an RN, BSNC nurse from Nigeria, looking forward to my masters in public health program soonest.
Congratulations on the BSNC...Keep on going don't stop! Thank you for watching!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had an important question in regards to Nursing. I have a deep respect for the career, and I am very curious. As someone who has spent a while in Nursing, someone who teaches it, would you say the job is rewarding? I dont mean monetarily, but emotionally. I want to be a nurse, but I have been put off by some of the nurses I have met. A lot of them seem overworked and jaded. They are sorta happy to be nurses, but also seem to be more indifferent to others. Maybe it's just the people I am talking to, but I am curious if you could tell me about the mental toll of Nursing. Things like does it change how you look at others? What kind of person would do best in Nursing? How does seeing different things and doing certain things in Nursing effect your overall outlook on life, people, etc.? How does nursing tend to shape your world view? Has it impacted your life more than some other jobs may (for better or worse)? Thank you, and thanks for the great videos.
Is nursing rewarding....YES! As far as the pay...its is good...But you cannot put a price on helping others, whether it is helping to save their life,
giving their medications that they need, up to holding a dying patient's hand. It can be draining...emotionally, physically, and mentally. That's where the nurse has to also take care of themselves, not to work excessively for the money...and eat healthy, exercise, rest...take care of themselves.
Just like any job, profession...people can burn out, get tired of it, etc., but one benefit is that you can always chose to work in a different area...sometimes it can be easier...sometimes not. It can change your world view...cause you can see people at their worst times (sick, angry, dying), but also at their best...seeing the human spirit to fight and get healthy...as well as new life being born.
That's just my perspective anyways...hope it helps!!!
@@NurseMasterCharlieRN It helps a lot, thank you tons!

Excellent! Is that like a BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing)? If you need anything...I'm here. Be sure to also watch my other videos on various topics.
Why there is no source?????? I can't find any source that backs up the Wayward part.
Sorry I did not cite sources, but I read it in an excerpt from the author Charles Dickens, when I was researching the information. I could not locate the original book phrase, but he does mention the word "wayward" in David Copperfield,, "Let that pass. I have been a grumpy, frumpy, wayward sort of a woman, a good many years".

Iam BSC Nurse degree i want further my studies to masters degree in nursing.
DO it...more knowledge is always a good thing!!!!
It's still not respected here in India sadly 😌
Well keep on being a nurse, or becoming a nurse, the change begins with us, then as we care for patients, the patients, their families, who may be somebody influential to help see what nurses do, and then respect them. Sadly, it took a war to finally make people/governments to notice and see what Florence Nightengale (and nurses) were capable of doing.

Can a nurse upgrade to a medical doctor
Not upgrade… just have to take more classes… and it’s a different educational pathway … more schooling.
But it can be done…
don't quote yourself though, you're too smart for that.
Yes, it was an interesting video, but anyone who quotes himself immediately looks stupidly arrogant.
It still isn’t.
I’m sorry that’s been your experience.
but imagine having criminals as a nurse
Can you imagine!!!
Nursing is not a profession. It is a vocation by definition.
Actually it’s both… it’s a vocational in its skill set, but is also a profession… due to its skill set and certifications, degrees (associates, bachelors, masters, doctorate), and specialties… as well as recognition as a group with specialized knowledge.
@@NurseMasterCharlieRN The word profession stems from the word profess, to be an expert in your field, ie. Professor. Doctors, attorneys, Clergyman, professors, etc. are professions. They require several elements and most can work independently in their own consultancy / practice without needing employment or working under a doctor or attorney like a paralegal or nurse. Although nurses meet a small number of elements of a profession they are vocations until they can work independently, require masters and above for RN. You will never find any profession listed above with an associates degree. Another field that has a few elements of professional but is still a vocation is law enforcement. Some departments require more qualifications than RN such as a bachelors degree and zero criminal background.
