Who addapted the hippocratic oath for nurses and why? Also what did Florance Nightingale keep in her pocket?

Mrs. Lystra Gretter, adapted the Hippocratic Oath for nurses and called it the The Nightingale Pledge. \n\nWhy? coz they needed one that fit the nurse's job rather than the doctors, for whom the Hippocratic Oath was originally made.\n\nFlorence Nightingale kept a pet baby owl called Athena in her pocket.

I am a physician also and I partially agree with you. \nI think that if you generalize the attitudes of the people you interat with, then it depends on your location and department. Some wealthy  people act privileged- so this is a culture you need to get used to if you want to continue practicing in this area. Set boundaries early on.\n\nRegarding other hospital-workers mistreating you...doctors do take alot of abuse. It's the nature of the job- workig with people at times of stress and illness. Maybe the nurses giving you a hard time are unhappy with their jobs and their lives, so they mistreat others- and the new person is always at risk of being the target of their frustations and discontent. It is also an ego issue since the nurses you are dealing with have alot more RN experience (and age) over you. (Some of them, on the other had, are wonderful resources and wonderful to work with.) At the end, you are the doctor and are ultimately responsible for the care of the patients and your word (order) stands.\n\nJust remember that regardless of whether you are over-worked, underpaid and underappreciated, you have an obligation to your patients- to strive for their best interest and help & cure them. Don't let 'work conditions' get in the way of being a good doctor and fulfilling the Hippocratic Oath.

Duty of care is the legal obligation of a health care professional (doctor, nurse, etc.) to treat a patient.  A nurse is expected to provide care for all patients in their facility within the guidelines of their scope of practice as set forth by their state board of nursing.  That means, for example, that a nurse can not refuse to care for a patient just because that patient has an infectious disease, or because the nurse doesn't agree with their religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or whatever. It also means that a nurse can not exceed their scope of practice (such as by performing procedures that only a doctor can legally perform).

Attributed to Florence Nightingale during/after Crimean War to represent, on a monthly basis, causes of casualties.  Showed graphically that disease was killing more soldiers than battle.  Led to more sanitary conditions

This is the Hippocratic Oath. It's traditionally taken by physicians. \n\n-----------------------------------------\nI swear by Apollo the physician, by Æsculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgement, the following Oath.\n\nTo consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone the precepts and the instruction.\n\nI will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.\n\nTo please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death.\n\nNor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion.\n\nBut I will preserve the purity of my life and my art.\n\nI will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.\n\nIn every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.\n\nAll that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.\n\nIf I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot."

Hippocrates, father of Medicine\nHippocrates studied at the temple of Asclepius (god of medicine) on the island of Cos. He emphasised on observation and believed that all illness rived from natural causes.The Hippocratic Collection is a group of manuscripts attributed to Hippocrates, but kept or written by his numerous followers. The Hippocratic Oath, nowadays sworn to by men about to enter medical practice, is based on a code of ethical conduct appearing in the Hippocratic Collection

When my mother had just given birth to my sister, the nurses tried to wheel her into another room so the doctor could get her tubes tied without her permission. They took one look at our family, and thought she was having kids to put on well fare. We never ever took government aid. My brother is at an Ivy league school now, and I'm applying for college. But that still irks me. This was in 1993 by the way, in a well respected hospital.

Fever 1793 is a great book! It is about this girl who lives through her mother's death (she died from yellow fever). she is sent away to [a place that I don't quite remember] with her grandpa so that she will not get sick. She came very close to becoming ill. I'm sorry that I cannot help you anymore, because I read it three years ago, and my memory is very poor! :~}

Not sure what you are referring to. HIPPA? Duty to act? There are lots of areas that have legal ramifications in nursing care.

all the Hippocratic Oath is is a promise that the doctor will always try to save the patients life - nothing greek!

No, Hippocrates was the Greek most famous for his work on medicinal practices. Many of his ideas were off base: however, his Hippocratic Oath (you know the one, "First do no harm", etc.) is still pledged today. Credit given for first envisioning something similar to a helocopter is usually given to Leonardo da Vinci. He worked for the Medici family, and part of his job was to create military defensive ideas.

Florence Nightingale is most remembered as a pioneer of nursing and a reformer of hospital sanitation methods.\n\n\nFlorence Nightingale made history with her nursing work in the Crimean War and helped shake up the field of medicine. \n\nI dont think they had specific nursing titles. but she did a lot more than just nursing frm what i read throughout the information. such as she invented the pie chart. I included some sights that i think you might get alot of information off of. I hope this helps you. :)
