Isabel Adams Hampton Robb (1860–1910) was an American nurse theorist, author, nursing school administrator and early leader. Hampton was the first Superintendent of Nurses at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, wrote several influential textbooks, and helped to found the organizations that became known as the National League for Nursing, the International Council of Nurses, and the American Nurses Association. Hampton also played a large role in advancing the social status of nursing through her work in developing a curriculum of more advanced training during her time at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.
Early life and career
Isabel Hampton was born in Welland, Ontario on August 26, 1859. Hampton started early her teaching profession at the early age of 17 at a public school in Merritton, Ontario. She attended a collegiate institution after high school, but a significant part of her early education was attained through independent study.[1] Hampton enrolled in the Bellevue Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1881 and graduated in 1883. After graduation, she briefly worked as a nurse in New York and later went to work in Rome at St. Paul's House. Here, she worked for a hospital that served American and European travelers. Upon returning the United States, she worked as a private duty nurse for the Conover family in New Jersey. In 1886, Hampton went to Chicago and assumed the role of superintendent of Illinois Training School for Nurses at the Cook County Hospital.[2] During her time in Chicago, she implemented reforms, many of which are still followed today.[3] One of her most notable contributions to the system of nursing education was the implementation of a grading policy for nursing students. Students would need to prove their competency in order to receive qualifications. Before Hampton's reforms, nursing had been largely taken up by lower-class women who were unable to hold other jobs.
Career at Johns Hopkins
In 1889, Hampton was appointed the Superintendent of Nurses and Principal of the Training School new Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. She continued to suggest reforms, participate in teaching, and publish textbooks. Because of Hampton's strong leadership and educational background, the chairman of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, William Osler, commented during the interviewing process: "Miss Isabel Hampton entered the room looking like an animated Greek statue...we knew that all was settled...Her certificates were looked at...and all was settled in a few minutes."[1] Hampton wrote Nursing: Its Principles and Practice. The textbook was published in 1893 and, as a review of the second edition of the textbook that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated, the textbook "stands without a competitor."[4]
In 1893, Hampton, with the assistance of Lavinia Dock, founded the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools for Nurses of the United States and Canada, a precursor to the current National League for Nursing.
 This book was one of the first texts to be written on nursing in America. It was crucial in establishing nursing as a legitimate and necessary profession in the medical field. | |

Later life
After five years at Johns Hopkins, Hampton married Dr. Hunter Robb and followed him to his new position as professor of gynecology at Case Western Reserve University. Isabel and her husband would have two children, in 1895 and 1902 respectively.[2] She was a key figure in the development for curriculum for the Lakeside Hospital Training School for Nurses, the nucleus for Case Western's future School of Nursing. Lakeside's program became one of the first schools to implement the teachings of Florence Nightingale. Hampton also authored Nursing Ethics in 1900 and Educational Standards for Nurses in 1907.[5] In a 1901 review of Nursing Ethics, the Baltimore American said, "This text-book differs from any other on the market at the present time, in that it deals simply with the principles and practice of nursing, and omits the usual smattering of teaching on a great variety of subjects. The author particularly insists that for thorough training in nursing it is necessary that each nurse should be supplied with various additional books, each dealing with a single subject, such as anatomy, physiology, materia medica, massage, bandaging and invalid cookery, which are quite distinct from, although supplementary to, the principles of nursing."[6] Hampton died on April 15, 1910 following an accident involving a streetcar.[2]
Nursing leadership
In addition to serving as president of the organization that would become the National League for Nursing, Hampton was among the group that established the American Journal of Nursing. She was also a founding member of the International Council of Nurses[7] as well as the first president of the Nurses' Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada. The latter organization would later become the American Nurses Association. She also helped to create a graduate hospital economics course at Columbia University Teachers College.[2]
