Introduction.
Why is there a shortage and high demand of nurses between Florida Hospital Medical Center (FH) and Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC)? Although there is a high demand in both hospitals, neither hospital can fill up their capacity of having full staff nurses on their floors. In this study you will see the history of nursing, the cause of the demands, reason of the problem between FH and ORMC and interviews of some nurses. In my finding there will be a conclusion to these problems and some solutions to this problem of demand. .
History of Nursing:.
In earlier centuries, nursing care was usually provided by volunteers who had little or no training "most commonly men and women of various religious orders. During the Crusades, for example, some military orders of knights also provided nursing care, most notably the Knights Hospitalers. .
Toward the end of the 18th century nursing was considered an unsuitable occupation for "proper" young women, undoubtedly due to the fact that hospitals in those days were dirty and pestilent places where patients usually died. As a result, those who provided nursing care were commonly persons who had been imprisoned for drunkenness or who could not find work elsewhere. (Carruthers, 2001, 1).
.
Modern nursing began in the mid-19th century with the advent of the Nightingale training schools for nurses. In the United States, the Spanish-American War and, later, World War I established the need for more nurses in both military and civilian life.
