A servant's heart: an analysis of Nightingale's correspondence to Mrs Broomhead.

During a visit to the Nightingale home at Lea Hurst, the authors discovered correspondence between Florence Nightingale and a former servant's wife. Much of her correspondence that has been studied was to well-known people regarding major issues of public concern. This correspondence reveals Nightingale's concern for people of all stations in life. Nightingale's caring concern and strong religious faith are evident in each letter. These letters provide evidence of Nightingale's lifelong commitment to the people of her youth, regardless of their status in life.

The historic origins of nursing centers.

The four examples presented are representative of nursing service organizations at the turn of the century that fit our current definition of nursing center. They share commonalities that led to their creation and continuation. These nursing centers were created to respond to a recognized need: There was a clientele that was not being served; the clientele served were generally poor, of low socioeconomic status; and income generation (money) was not a motivating factor for the nurses. There was a strong leader for each center who championed the cause and took the risks, and these centers were all very successful at what they set out to do. It is interesting to note that the commonalities from the turn of the century can also be applied to the 1980s. Using this history to refresh our memory can help us build on the strong base that these early nursing centers provided.
