From an
early age, she felt she had a calling to be a nurse.
Faye Abdellah, RN, Ed.D., Sc.D., FAAN, was the founding dean of the Graduate
School of Nursing at the Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD. She was
the first Deputy surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service.
(Parascandola, 1994).
She described four phases of this relationship: orientation, in which the person
and the nurse mutually identify the person's problem; identification, in which the
person identifies with the nurse, thereby accepting help; exploitation, in which the
person makes use of the nurse's help; and resolution, in which the person
accepts new goals and frees herself or himself from the relationship.
Her famous definition of nursing was one of the first statements clearly
delineating nursing from medicine:
"The unique function of the nurs is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the
performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to
peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength,
will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain
independence as rapidly as possible" (Henderson, 1966, p. 15). She was one of
the first nurses to point out that nursing does not consist of merely following
physician's orders.
According to the Care, Core, and Cure" model, nurses work in three arenas: care
(hands on bodily care), core (using the self in relationship to the patient), and
cure (applying medical knowledge). Hall was another nurse to the delineate the
practice of nursing from the practice of medicine.
