Nightingale-Bamford Students

Our vision is for Nightingale students to be joyful learners who have the intellectual depth and the courage to be critical thinkers, compassionate citizens, and agents of their own lives; in doing so, we advance equity for the betterment of all.

To achieve this mission and vision, we will educate our students’ minds and hearts by:

Infusing their lives with meaningful relationships;
Teaching them to value difference as a source of strength and means of growth;
Empowering them to question the status quo with confidence, empathy, resilience, and reason.
It’s not that hard to replace “our girls” with something along the lines of “Nightingale-Bamford Students.”

The Florence Nightingale Effect

Also called Florence Nightingale syndrome, Nightingale syndrome or The Nightingale effect.

The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver develops romantic feelings, sexual feelings, or both for their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care. Feelings may fade once the patient is no longer in need of care.

The effect is named for Florence Nightingale, a pioneer in the field of nursing in the second half of the 19th century. Due to her dedication to patient care, she was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" because of her habit of making rounds at night, previously not done. Her care would forever change the way hospitals treated patients. Most consider Nightingale the founder of modern nursing. There is no record of Florence Nightingale having ever fallen in love with one of her patients. In fact, despite multiple suitors, she never married for fear it might interfere with her calling for nursing. Albert Finney referred to the effect as the "Florence Nightingale syndrome" in a 1982 interview, and that phrase was used earlier to refer to health workers pursuing non-tangible rewards in their careers.
They told him that he would forget about her when she no longer were in need of hospital care and went back home. The Florence Nightingale effect they called it. But he wasn't sure they were right. Sure a respected doctor like him would not fall victim for such a thing.

Reverse Nightingale Syndrome

When a caretaker falls for the person they're caring simply because they sympathize toward them or feel more connected by that temporary bond.
My friend fell for me as he prayed everyday because of my Hypokalemia and messed up stomach. He later told me it was Reverse Nightingale Syndrome.

Galien Nightingale

The Overlord of Chaos incarnated as a

V-tuber.

He dominates over the app known as

He does a variety of challenges whenever he completes a sub or follower milestone. His most popular was when he ate a Carolina Reaper and nearly ended the stream!

He has a bubbly personality and is hilarious to watch. He is most popular for his TTMMLGOS (Try To Make Me Laugh Giggle Or Smile) streams, where he sometimes has surprise guests, such as Gawr Gura the Shark Queen herself!
