A poem praising nightingale

Ode to the nightingale, the goddess of lanterns

You are carrying an oil lamp.

tread lightly

Go through the ward

Another ward

Patrol eye

Like this beating flame

Burning with love, care and responsibility

This is no ordinary oil lamp.

From the moment you lit it.

One night in 1854

It's always on.

A century and a half is not far away. Yesterday and today.

Those angels in white.

Guided by your brilliance in ordinary days

Carving time

Follow in your footsteps

They work silently in the field of life.

Eradicate weeds and gravel diseases

Variety as needed.

Hope and health

With hard work and sweat

Interpretation of dedication.

This lamp illuminates every ward.

It also illuminates the hearts of every patient. The nightingale, a woman whose name is as immortal as her spirit, is the most beautiful scenery standing high on the roof of the world.

There is a bronze statue of a noble lady on the street in London, and a bust of this lady is printed on the back of the 10 banknote. She is florence nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. The British regard her as the pride of Britain. Longfellow, a famous American poet, wrote poems to praise her achievements and lofty spirit, calling her a hero in the female world.

My only wish: to be an excellent nurse.

Nightingale was born in a wealthy immigrant family in Florence, a historic city in central Italy, and later moved to Britain with her family. When I was young, I was eager to learn, read all kinds of classics and received a good education. She studied at the University of Paris, France, and is proficient in English, French, Italian and German. Her parents want her to develop her talents in literature and music and become a celebrity society, but she is not interested in it.

She once wrote in her diary: there are three ways before me: first, to become a writer; The second is to get married and be a housewife; The third is to be a nurse. She despised the idle parasitic life of a lady, criticized the social morality at that time, and advocated equality between men and women and women's participation in labor. In spite of her parents' opposition, she resolutely chose the third way.

Ms. nightingale has a kind and loving heart since she was a child. She loves life, and the small animals at home are injured. She bandaged it carefully. Nightingale has lofty ideals, and thinks that the real meaning of life lies in doing something beneficial to mankind. Being a good nurse is her only long-cherished wish in this life.

/kloc-one day in 0/837, the nightingale thought she heard the voice of God and asked her to complete a task. At that time, British hospitals were dirty and messy, and nursing work was mostly done by women, whose social status was no different from that of servants. They work hard and work long hours. At the same time, due to the lack of nursing knowledge, patients can not get proper care, and the mortality rate is high. Nightingale realized that caring for patients is not only a female talent, but also requires knowledge. From 65438 to 0844, she set out from England and began to travel on the European continent, covering France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and other countries and visiting hospitals in various countries. 1850, regardless of her family's objection, she resolutely went to Waite, Kaysers for nursing training. Her intelligence was discovered, and she was hired by 1853 as the director of the London Women's Patient Care Association.

During the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856, there were nurses in French military hospitals to take care of the sick and wounded. The battlefield hospitals in Britain are poorly managed, ambulances are in poor condition, and there are no nurses to take care of the wounded and sick. The death rate of soldiers is as high as 50%. Nightingale volunteered to be a nurse in the battlefield. At the invitation of the British government, she led 38 nurses to the front line to serve in four field hospitals.

At that time, there was a shortage of materials, water and medical care in the front line. However, she was not discouraged. She saved the sick and wounded with full enthusiasm and tried her best to eliminate all kinds of difficulties. She reorganized the hospital, improved the nutrition and hygiene conditions of the wounded, rectified the supply of toilets, laboratories and kitchens, bandages and medicines, and strengthened wound care. She is full of sympathy and sense of responsibility for the wounded, solving their daily necessities and food, organizing the families of soldiers to work together and increasing their nutrition, thus changing the face of the field hospital. About half a year, the death rate of the wounded and sick dropped to 2.2%. She was once a legend in England.

Nightingale is kind and amiable, loves the sick and wounded, treats her work seriously and responsibly, and has a high sense of responsibility and excellent organizational skills. She works day and night. In the dark, nightingale patrolled the ward with an oil lamp and took care of every injured soldier in every possible way. The wounded soldiers were moved to lie on the bed, kissed her figure on the wall, expressed their high respect for her, and unanimously and affectionately called her "Mrs. Lantern". Her deeds are widely circulated.

Founder of modern nursing education

After the war, florence nightingale devoted himself to nursing. She is called a national hero, but she is humble and polite, refuses official transportation and all recreational activities, and is determined to continue to work hard to improve the sanitary conditions of the British army. 1857, she promoted the opening of the army medical college.

1860, florence nightingale established the world's first formal nursing school, florence nightingale Nursing School, at St. Thomas Hospital in England with the florence nightingale Fund of 4400 pounds donated by the public. Subsequently, we began to train midwives and nurses in the workhouse. She made outstanding contributions in hospital management, military health care, nurse education and training, and was praised as the founder of modern nursing education by later generations. She also put forward the idea of public health care, arguing that preventive medical services should be provided through community organizations. She has trained 1000 nurses in her life. The main works "Hospital Notes" and "Nursing Notes" have become the basic teaching materials for hospital management and nurse education. It has promoted the development of nursing work and nurse education in western European countries and even the world. Because of her efforts, nursing has become a science. 190 1 year, florence nightingale became blind due to overwork. 1907, the king of England issued an order to award Florence Nightingale the Medal of Merit, becoming the first woman in British history to accept this highest honor. After her death, according to her will, there was no state funeral.

International Nurses Day

19 12 The International Council of Nurses proposed that hospitals and nursing schools all over the world take 12 Nightingale's birthday as the International Nurses' Day to commemorate the British pioneer of nursing and the founder of human nursing.

May 12 is the same holiday for nurses all over the world. Commemorative activities are being held all over the world to encourage nurses to carry forward the glorious tradition of nursing, treat every patient with "love, patience, care and responsibility" and do a good job in saving lives.

The most unique function of nursing work is to help patients and healthy people prevent diseases, relieve pain, restore health or promote health. It is a subject that integrates science, ethics and art, so nurses must constantly enrich themselves and cultivate their professionalism and optimistic and enterprising spirit.

With strong dedication and high sense of responsibility, the "angels in white" on the nursing front selflessly dedicated their sincere love to every patient, studied and carried forward the spirit of Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and "burned themselves and illuminated others".
