Big picture

Time period Development summary
< 19th century Palliative care, a related field to nursing, has its origins well before the 19th century. Despite the fact that, as early as the fourth and fifth centuries, men have worked as nurses, the history of nursing is almost exclusively represented by women.[1] In Europe, nurses during the Middle Ages are mostly untrained women helping with delivery of babies or serving as wet nurses. Other formal “nurses” are often nuns who are called to care for the sick and the poor.[2]
19th century Modern nursing begins with the pioneering work of English nurse Florence Nightingale. In the second half of the century, nurses begin wearing uniforms. At the end of the century, the idea of higher education for nurses emerges, and nurse anesthetists begin practicing.[3]
20th century Nursing evolves toward a scientific, research-based defined body of knowledge and practice. Affiliation of nursing education with universities consolidates. Expanded and advanced practice roles emerge.[4] A larger and more expanded role for nurses develops along the century, with a number of distinct areas introduced in which nurses could specialize in, including such specialty care as orthopedics, trauma, critical care, pediatrics and neonatal nursing. Throughout the years, nursing would also see a shift away from the typical description of a doctors assistant to performing many of these duties themselves, including everything from performing procedures to prescribing medication. Today, nurses can choose to receive training in over 200 unique healthcare specialties.[5]
