Lucy Osburn, a Lady Displaced: Florence Nightingale's Envoy to Australia
A ‘Region of Indecency and Pruriency’: Religious Conflict, Female Communities and Health Care in Colonial New South Wales
T he focus of this paper is on the reli- gious conflict that nearly destroyed the attempt to introduce reformed nursing, as advocated by Florence Nightingale, into the colony of New South Wales. Religious conflict, arising from belief and bigotry and enflamed by images of medieval martyrs, had a major impact on the social and political life of the colony. Such conflict peaked in New South Wales during the 1860s-80s and especially in 1868, the yea…

Bathsheba Ghost, Matron of the Sydney Infirmary 1852-66: A Silenced Life
Bathsheba Ghost was Matron of Sydney Infirmary and Dispensary (now Sydney Hospital) from 1852-66. She has been subsumed into the 'before' narrative of the bad old days at Sydney Hospital (and Australia) before rescue by the arrival from England of middle-class nurses trained under the auspices of the iconic Florence Nightingale. Matron Bathsheba Ghost was one of the few working-class women who rose to prominence, on her own merits, from a convict…

A ‘lamentable failure'? The founding of Nightingale nursing in Australia, 1868–1884∗
Florence Nightingale's private assessment was that Lucy Osburn failed in her attempt to found Nightingale nursing in Australia. This assessment is directly at odds with those of historians who have unquestioningly accepted Osburn's success. An alternative narrative of the founding of Nightingale nursing in Australia is provided through examining why Nightingale thought Osburn failed. The judgment of failure had little to do with nursing practice …
Be Good, Sweet Maid: Sister Probationer Nora Barton at the Sydney Infirmary, 1869-72
In 1869, Nora Barton chose to become one of the new 'Nightingale nurses' at Sydney Infirmary. She entered as a 'Sister Probationer', one who underwent training not so much to nurse, but to supervise nurses. Ideally, the sister probationers were upper middle class, Protestant, and conformed to the Nightingale image of reformed nursing. Barton was an ideal recruit as a sister probationer. Her experience provides an insight into Nightingale nursing …
