- Description:
- In this letter to Dr. W. Gill Wylie, Florence Nightingale speaks at length of the role that nurses play in the medical care of patients. She makes a point of saying that nurses are there to carry out the orders of doctors and surgeons; that they are not medical men nor medical women. She also states that it is her belief that nurses should be under the direction of a Matron, one who was very familiar with nurses and their management, as well as nursing procedures. Nightingale felt it was not the administration of the hospital nor the doctors who should oversee the nurses. Nightingale feels that a strict hierarchy is what creates a suitable work environment and discipline among nurses. She goes on to give examples of poor nurse and hospital management. Nightingale then states that she would send Dr. Wylie a report that was used often in hospital that gave advice on the proper training methods for nurses as well as the day-to-day procedures for nurses to follow.
