The focus of this paper is on the religious 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 year the Nightingale nurses arrived. Reforming nursing was far from the seemingly innocuous act it might appear. Nightingale nursing had a major impact on the health care system and challenged accepted notions of women’s work. The influence of these founding years reverberates in modern nursing. Reforming nursing also exacerbated major anxieties about women’s communities. These anxieties were revealed in a somewhat farcical public brawl in 1870 between the advocates and opponents of reformed nursing, Catholics, High Church Anglicans and Evangelical Protestants.
