Career

Ida Jean Orlando was born on August 12, 1926, in New Jersey, the fourth of six children of Italian immigrants Nicholas and Antoinette Orlando. Coming from a humble background and growing up during the economic crisis , Orlando decided to pursue a career in the care sector to improve their living conditions. She went to New York Medical College's Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital School of Nursing and received her Nursing Diploma in 1947. Orlando initially worked in Shore Hospital in obstetrics , but felt that the patients were not being adequately treated and moved to another hospital .

During this time, Orlando studied part-time at St. John's University, Brooklyn, and received a bachelor's degree in Public Health Nursing in 1951 . Still unhappy with the lack of consideration of the interests of patients, she began studying at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City and received in 1954 a Master Accounts in psychiatric care . Immediately thereafter, she became director and assistant professor in the Department of Mental Health and Psychiatric Care at Yale . There she led a study on the relationship between carers and patients. She published the results of the research in 1961 as The Dynamic Sister-Patient Relationship .

She married Robert Pelletier on June 30, 1961 and then left Yale to work as a nursing advisor at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts . The studies she carried out there, the first scientifically based investigations of this kind, she published in 1972 in The Discipline and Teaching of the Nursing Process . From 1972 to 1981, she conducted seminars across the country and Canada to present and implement her theory. After retiring from active care, she worked as a mentor and advisor in Massachusetts until her death on November 28, 1981.
