aug 27, 1873 - Nightingale Nurses

Description:

In 1873 Elizabeth Barclay and Angélique Lucille Pringle started building up a system of nursing where the nurses were under the control of the Lady Superintendent of Nurses instead of individual ward doctors.

They also introduced a systematic training of nurses, who were, after one year of probation, admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh’s Register Book.

Accordingly, the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh had implemented the first Scottish nursing school.
