Excerpt from A History of Nursing, Vol. 4 of 4: The Evolution of Nursing Systems From the Earliest Times to the Foundation of the First English and American Training Schools for Nurses
The Empress laid her views before the Society of Domestic Hygiene, of which She was patroness, and the school began in a small way in 1881 - 82, without definite hospital connection, but finally, in 1886, with Fraulein Fuhrmann, who had meantime been trained at the Nightingale school at St. Thomas's, as its head, it was attached as an independent as sociation to the public hospital at Friedrichshain, where the nurses were to receive their training. There was a board of trustees, and a very pleasant and attractive home was built for the pupils. The training lasted for one year, but the pupils Signed a three-year contract, and after this term were free either to leave the association or to remain in its service throughout their lives. If they chose the latter, they were supported in Sickness and Old age, the general plan being Similar to that of the religious orders, though the whole standard of living was more ample and a far greater degree of personal liberty allowed. At sixty, if in the service of the associa tion, the nurses received pensions. (this detail has recently been altered. They are now insured.) Victoria House, in its day, was considered to be ex tremely advanced. It has always attracted a superior type of women and they enjoy the advantages of a good position. Its pupils, however, are badly over worked in the course of their training, owing, no doubt, to the necessity of making thrifty contracts with the city hospitals for their services.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the rise of the German Free Sisters, a pioneering nursing association formed at the start of the 20th century, against the backdrop of Germany's evolving nursing landscape. The author analyzes the social, economic, and political forces that shaped the Free Sisters' emergence and traces their fight for professional recognition and improved working conditions. The book delves into the broader history of nursing in Germany, exploring the influence of religious orders, deaconess institutions, and the Red Cross on the nursing profession. By doing so, it sheds light on the evolving role of women in healthcare and the ongoing struggle for professionalization and equal rights in the field. Ultimately, this book not only provides a detailed account of the German Free Sisters but also offers valuable insights into the historical development of nursing and the challenges faced by women seeking to establish themselves in a male-dominated profession.
