The hospital authorities realized the need for nurses and midwives to provide care to hospitalized patients.
Hence, 4 ladies were sent to India. The seed for nursing was sown in Nepal in B. S when 4 ladies were sent to India to study 18 months midwifery training. These ladies after their graduation in B. S, joined Bir hospital as nurses. Then in B. S AD , 2 ladies were sent to India again for nursing training for the first time.
After completing the training they joined nursing school In Surendra bhawan and started teaching nursing. Mrs Lamoo Amatya was the incharge of this school, then called co-ordinator. This was thought to increase understanding of human behavior and communication skill. This created a positive impact on the image of nursing. PCL nursing could now enter bachelor level program offered in humanities after passing one or more subjects in social science in certificate level. This encouraged the girls from privileged class to study nursing.

This change occurred in response to the Alma Ata Declaration , health for all by by promoting primary health care In BS AD , Bir Hospital Nursing campus opened under the affiliation of TU, IOM After BS, education remained no longer only the state responsibility, education for health professional opened to private sector.
This resulted in quality nursing education, revised curriculum, better classroom teaching and improved clinical supervision. The school was either affiliated with or owned by a hospital that provided the students with the clinical experience considered necessary for the education of a nurse.
Students received two to three years of training. While in the program students carried out the majority of patient care activities offered in the hospital, receiving only a modicum of classroom education in the form of lectures on patient care and related subjects.
At the end of the educational program, students received a diploma and were eligible to seek work as a trained nurse. Two nurses in the J. William White private operating room, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, These early nurse education programs were, in reality, little more than apprenticeship programs that used student nurses for their labor.
Despite their significant shortcomings, however, they proved very popular with both hospitals and students and created a pattern of hospital-based nurse education that persisted until the mid-twentieth century. And, while many disparaged the exploitative nature of the nurse education system, the presence of trained nurses with their emphasis on cleanliness, orderliness and close observation of patients successfully transformed hospitals into scientific institutions of caring.
Schools of nursing did improve over time. Better oversight of nursing educational programs by state licensing boards as well as the increasingly complex demands of patient care led the schools to increase the amount of theoretical instruction and decrease the amount of direct work performed by students. As the number of nurses grew in the late nineteenth century, nursing took on the rudimentary characteristics of a profession.
State nurses associations also organized and were instrumental in passing state nurse registration acts which regulated and provided a licensing system for nursing practice. The successful passage of nurse registration acts, considered a significant legislative accomplishment at a time when women held little political power, also provided nurses with their modern legal title, registered professional nurses RN. These changes improved and reformed many aspects of the nurse training system, but problems remained.
Reflecting the social and legal status of African Americans at the time, American professional nursing maintained strict racial segregation until the mid-twentieth century. African American individuals wanting to become nurses had to train in a separate educational system and faced a divided employment field in which white and black nurses did not participate equally. Nursing also remained a predominantly female profession.
While a few schools admitted men, most schools refused them admission. Employment conditions for nurses also presented challenges. In the early part of the twentieth century, hospitals employed only a few graduate nurses, mainly in supervisory positions. They relied instead on student nurses for the majority of the bedside care provided to patients. Most nurses, once they graduated from their educational program, entered the field of private duty nursing.
Private duty nurses were employed by individual patients primarily in their homes. As institutions became the more normative site for delivery of sick care, private duty nurses moved with their patients into the hospital, delivering care to hospitalized individuals who could afford to pay for their own nurse.
But for nurses, private duty often did not provide regular and dependable employment; nurses were hired on an ad hoc basis by patients and were oftentimes without a regular source of income. The cost of private duty was also quite high, limiting the number of patients employing private duty nurses. It was not until the mid-twentieth century that hospitals hired nurses as regular staff on a permanent basis, providing full professional nursing services to all hospitalized patients. Despite the many difficulties within the profession, nursing continued to grow as an occupational field and became recognized as an essential health care service by the early twentieth century.
Nurses fanned out into diverse fields delivering services to many people outside of hospitals. July 4, celebration in Paris. About 23, American nurses served in the military, delivering care to the armed forces both in the United States and at the war front,. The success of military nurses in providing essential care during the war insured their participation in succeeding conflicts.
At home, nurses continued to provide essential service to the civilian population. The special skills possessed by nurses were easily transferred to different fields of health care. For example, nurses were educated to administer anesthesia during surgery, leading to the specialty field of nurse anesthetists. By the s, in some parts of the country, nurse-midwives delivered babies, in many cases to the most impoverished populations. Nurse examining chest tube drainage bottles, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, During the s and s, hospitals continued to expand adding more and more patient beds and delivering care that was rapidly becoming more complex.
Nurses were the most essential ingredient in insuring that patients received competent care delivered in a safe manner. Hospitals continued to rely heavily on student nurses for patient care, but a trend emerged in which hospitals hired more nurses who had completed their education and graduated.
When the United States entered World War II, nurses duplicated the excellent work they had performed in World War I, taking critical positions in the armed services and insuring that the military received appropriate care. About 78, nurses served in World War II, their contributions acknowledged as essential to victory. The post-World-War-II era posed new challenges for the profession. While the modern intensive health care system that emerged after the war demanded larger numbers of nurses to handle the increasingly complex and technical care needs of patients, there seemed to be fewer young women the major population from which nursing drew its recruits willing to choose nursing as a career.
Nursing failed to keep up economically with other occupations. Severe shortages of nurses characterized the immediate post war period, threatening the delivery of health services to the public.
At the same time, internal debates within the profession over the type of work in which nurses should engage and the proper way to educate a nurse divided nurses into different camps.
Some educators and other health care Professional Adjustments class for senior students, Philadelphia General Hospital School of Nursing, analysts promoted removing nursing education from its base within hospital training schools and placing it in institutions of higher education. By , approximately college-based nursing education programs awarded Bachelors of Science in Nursing degrees. These experts believed baccalaureate educated nurses would be better prepared to care for the complex needs of late-twentieth-century patients and would be able to take on more advanced roles in the delivery of health care.
Proponents of the traditional hospital-based diploma programs disagreed, arguing that nurses trained in hospital programs excelled at delivering bedside care, the major area in which nurses worked. Before the debate was settled one way or the other, a new nurse educational program centered in two-year community colleges emerged.
Community-college-based programs also known as Associate Degree programs seemed to offer the best of both worlds. Education took place in institutions of higher education, and the demands of patient care did not intrude on the learning process as often occurred in diploma programs. Graduates of community college programs seemed well suited to assume employment as hospital bedside nurses.
Further, the ability of community college programs to graduate large numbers of nurses offered potential respite from repeated nurse shortages. The community college movement achieved only partial success. Community college programs did graduate many new nurses and often at a lower cost than traditional diploma programs. But, as the needs of late-twentieth-century patients became increasingly more complex, research studies indicated that being treated by nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level improved patient outcomes.
Nurse with an intensive care patient, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Despite disagreements among nurses about the appropriate type and place of nursing educational programs, the profession itself flourished in the late twentieth century. In the mid-twentieth century nursing abandoned its objectionable system of racial and gender segregation, opening up equal educational, professional, and employment opportunities to all nurses.
Beginning in the s, new types of nurses, who specialized in different hospital settings such as intensive care units, and nurse practitioners who were trained to deliver a variety of primary care services began to appear on the health care scene.
Today, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and other specialty-area nurses are well established and carry out a significant portion of health care activities.
