I will answer these questions.

The nightingale who gave birth to nurses was called the angel of the war

It was more than 150 years ago that Nightingale was active, but her way of thinking about nursing has been handed down to the present day.

I thought about why Nightingale is said to be a role model for nurses and why it is still being studied. We will mainly introduce the “Memorandum of Nursing”, which is now said to be the bible of nursing, and the words and deeds of Nightingale.

And in this article, I will tell you the information to become a recommended nurse for those who aim to become such a “nurse”.

Born Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), nurse and nursing scholar, May 12, 1820, into an upper-class English family.

She was born in Florence, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (now Tuscany, Italy), where her parents spent two years on their honeymoon. It is said that she was named Florence (English reading of Florence) after her birthplace Florence.

When she was 22, she visited a peasant hut where the sick gathered for a charitable activity that was part of Lady’s Education. The sight of her poor sick people shocked Nightingale.

At that time, the status of nurses was still low and it was not a profession for people from upper class families in England, so she faced opposition from her family. His resolve seemed unwavering.

Crimean War

When Nightingale was 34, at the request of the Minister of War, she formed a nursing team and went to the British Army Field Hospital in Uskudar, Turkey. The environment of the hospital was the worst, and Nightingale and others reformed hygiene, food improvement, and management of supplies one after another.

Nightingale, who was a nocturnal patrol, was called “Lady with Light”, “Lady with Lamp”, and “Angel of Crimea”. Her nurses are called angels in white because of her nightingale.

nursing education

When Nightingale aspired to become a nurse, the profession of nurse was regarded as a chore that did not require specialization. In order to clarify the definition and role of such nursing and to bring in expertise and nurture it into a respectable profession, I founded a nursing school (Florence Nightingale School for Nurses and Midwives).

book

Nightingale actually worked as a nurse for just over two years until she was 37, but even after she collapsed from a heart attack, she continued to work energetically on her bedside writing. She has written over 150 books, including her famous Nursing Notes.

In addition to nursing, she has written a wide range of books, including books on hospitals and maternity hospitals, and books on health and hygiene. Her “Nursing Memorandum” is said to have greatly contributed not only to medical and nursing sites, but also to improving the sanitary environment in general households.

nightingale quotes

You are regressing unless you continue to progress.
Aim high.

I never miss a chance to start things.
Even a small beginning like a mustard seed can sprout and take root.

An angel is not one who scatters beautiful flowers, but one who fights for the afflicted.

Life requires practice.
Don’t let life pass by in ‘sane purpose, faulty deeds, and shaky wills’.

To become a nurse, you must pass the National Nursing Examination and obtain a nursing license.
From now on, I will explain the route to the nurse qualification, the pass rate of the exam, and the cost. It also introduces how housewives and working people become nurses and the characteristics of people who are suitable for nursing.
