Nightingale and Gender Influences

 

Florence Nightingale wrote the following in the preface to her book, Notes on Nursing:

 

“Every woman …. has at one time or another of her life, charge of the personal health of somebody, whether child or invalid – in other words, every woman is a nurse … If then. every woman must, at some time or other of her life become a nurse, i.e.,have charge of somebody’s health, how immense and how valuable would be the produce of her united experience if every women would think how to nurse.” (Quoted by Burkhardt and Nathaniel, 300)

 

In your experience, is this perception still present today? Why or why not? What impact might this bias have on male nurses? How might this perception have an affect on nurses? On patients?
