Biography


Nancy Roper

Nancy Roper was born on September 29, 1918 in Wetheral, Cumberland.

Her mother was a nanny, and when Roper started her career after life-long plans to become a nurse, she studied to be a registered sick children's nurse. She then took her general training. It was during her training that she began to develop her nursing model.

In 1943, she became a state registered nurse and was offered a post as a staff nurse in teaching. When she was later offered a senior tutor position at Cumberland Infirmary, Roper insisted on qualifying as a teacher first. She earned a sister tutor's diploma in 1950 from London University, and started overseas experience with a Royal College of Nursing study tour to Belgium in 1954.

She was an examiner for the General Nursing Council, and worked on updating Oakes' Dictionary for Nurses, which appeared in 1961. After 30 years as a nurse and nurse educator, Roper became a self-employed lexicographer and author in 1964.

Roper began her investigation into the concept of a core of nursing in her studies at Edinburgh University in 1970, thanks to a British Commonwealth Nurses Fellowship, which led to the initial publication of her model of nursing.

Roper passed away in Edinburgh on October 5, 2004

Alison Tierney is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Advanced Nursing. JAN is an international journal that publishes research and scholarly work across the breadth of nursing and midwifery, and it is in the ‘top ten’ nursing journals worldwide.  Alison herself has published widely in the course of her career in nursing research and education.  She was based for almost 30 years in the University of Edinburgh in Scotland (UK), including 10 years as Director of the Nursing Research Unit, and finally as Professor of Nursing Research and Head of the Department of Nursing Studies.  She then worked at the University of Adelaide in South Australia as Professor and Head of Clinical Nursing, now an Adjunct Professor,  and she continues to be involved  in a range of research- and healthcare-related activities in the UK and internationally. Alison was the UK (RCN) representative on WENR from 1990 to 1997 and in her final year she was Chair of the Steering Group.

Alison Tierney’s contributions to the nursing profession were recognized in the award of a CBE “for services to nursing research and education” in the 1992 Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honors List.

Alison Tierney’s extensive publications reflect her various contributions over time to nursing scholarship and nursing research and, through her membership over the years of numerous steering groups and committees, she has contributed actively to the strategic development of research in nursing, both nationally and internationally. 

Winefred Logan

Winefred Logan has a wide experience of being a nurse internationally and a nurse educator. In 1950, she was exposed in the tuberculosis/thoracic unit in Canada with foreign patients who experienced culture shock. With that, Logan realized the importance of biological, psychological, sociocultural and environmental factors in giving nursing care. 

In 1960’s, she got her master’s degree in Columbia University, New York. After that, she returned to become a teaching staff in the Department of Nursing Studies  at the University of Edinburgh in 1962. She also became a WHO Consultant, as executive director of International Council of Nurses. With her interests in conceptual model of nursing, she didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation of Roper to develop a nursing model based on model of living.
