Poems praising nightingale

Ode to Florence Nightingale, the goddess of lantern

You carry an oil lamp

Your footsteps lightly

cross one ward

Another ward

Your patrol eyes

burn with love like this beating flame

. Carefulness and responsibility

This is not an ordinary oil lamp

It has been on from the moment you lit it

one night in p>1854

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

Those angels in white

are guided by your brilliance. In ordinary days,

Carve time

Follow your footsteps. Seeding

hope and health

hard work and sweat

interpretation of dedication and dedication

This lamp illuminates every sick ward

It also illuminates every patient's heart. Nightingale, a woman whose name is as immortal as her spirit, is the most beautiful scenery standing high on the roof of the world

A bronze statue of a lady stands on the street in London, with a half of this lady printed on the back of a 1-pound note. The British regard her as the pride of Britain, and Longfellow, a famous American poet, specially wrote poems to praise her achievements and noble spirit, calling her a hero in women's circles.

only wish: to be a good nurse

Florence, a historic city in central Italy, was born into a wealthy immigrant family, and later moved to Britain with her family. When I was young, I was studious, 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 roads before me: one is 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, advocated equality between men and women, and advocated 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 animal raised at home is injured. She carefully bandages it. Nightingale has a lofty ideal and thinks that the true meaning of life lies in doing something useful for mankind. Being a good nurse is her only long-cherished wish in her life.

One day in p>1837, Nightingale felt that she heard the voice of God and asked her to complete a mission. At that time, the British hospitals were dirty and chaotic, and the nursing work was mostly done by women, whose social status was the same as that of servants. They work hard and work long hours. At the same time, due to the lack of nursing knowledge, patients are not properly cared for and the mortality rate is high. Nightingale realized that caring for patients is not only a gift of women, but also requires knowledge. In 1844, she set off from Britain and began a trip to the European continent, covering France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and other countries, and visited hospitals in various countries. In 185, despite the opposition of her family, she resolutely went to Kaiserswaite, Germany for nursing training. Her intelligence was discovered, and in 1853 she was hired as the supervisor of the London Nursing Association for Sick Women.

During the Crimean War from p>1854 to 1856, there were nurses in French army hospitals to care for the sick and wounded. However, the battlefield hospitals in Britain are poorly managed, the ambulance conditions are poor, and there are no nurses to care for the wounded and sick. The death rate of soldiers is as high as 5%. Nightingale volunteered to work as a nurse in the battlefield. At the invitation of the British government, she led 38 nurses to the front line and served in four field hospitals.

At that time, frontline supplies were scarce, water sources were insufficient, and medical care was extremely poor. However, she was not discouraged, rescued 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 sanitary conditions of the wounded, rectified the supply of toilets, laboratories and kitchens, as well as dressing appliances and medicines, and strengthened wound care. She is full of sympathy and sense of responsibility for the wounded, solves the necessities and food for them, organizes the soldiers' families to work together, and increases their nutrition, thus changing the face of the field hospital. In about half a year, the death rate of the wounded and sick dropped to 2.2%. She became a legendary figure in England for a while.

nightingale is kind and amiable, loves the sick and wounded, takes her work seriously, and has a high sense of responsibility and excellent organizational skills. She worked day and night. In the dark night, Nightingale patrolled the ward with an oil lamp, caring for every wounded soldier in every way. The wounded soldiers were moved to lie on the bed and kiss her figure landing on the wall, expressing their high respect for her and calling her "Lady with a lantern" unanimously and affectionately. Her deeds are widely circulated.

Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing education

After the war, she devoted herself to nursing work. She was called a national hero, but she was humble and courteous, refused official means of transportation and all the entertainment events, and was determined to continue to work hard to improve the sanitary conditions of the British army. In 1857, she promoted the opening of the Army Medical School.

in p>186, nightingale founded the world's first regular nursing school, nightingale nursing school, in St. Thomas' hospital in England with the nightingale fund of 4,4 pounds donated by the public. Subsequently, we began to train midwives and nurses in the workhouse. She made outstanding contributions to 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 and thought that preventive medical services should be provided through community organizations. She trained more than 1 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 around the world. Because of her efforts, nursing has become a science. In 191, nightingale became blind due to overwork. In 197, the British king issued an order to award 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

In p>1912, the International Council of Nurses proposed that hospitals and nursing schools all over the world take Nightingale's birthday on May 12th as the International Nurses' Day to commemorate the British pioneer of nursing and the founder of human nursing.

May 12th is the same holiday for nurses all over the world. Commemorative activities are held all over the world, aiming at encouraging 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 to prevent diseases, relieve pain, restore health or promote health. It is a discipline that combines science, ethics and art. Therefore, nurses must constantly enrich themselves to cultivate their career accomplishment and optimistic and enterprising spirit.

"angels in white" on the nursing front has devoted his sincere love to every patient with strong professionalism and high sense of responsibility, learning and carrying forward the spirit of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and "burning himself and illuminating others".
