Once, a little tit died. She wrapped the bird in a handkerchief, buried it under a pine tree in the garden, and erected a small tombstone engraved with an epitaph.
Poor little tits/Why did you die/What a beautiful crown on your head//But now/you are lying there/ignoring me/ignoring me.
She has been a loner since she was a child, not as naughty as ordinary children. She is stubborn and sentimental, and seems to be too precocious. She grew up alone in the noise.
Step 2 give up wealth
Under great mental pressure, she gritted her teeth and wouldn't give in. She began to secretly study the hospital report and the blue book issued by the government. She also wrote privately to foreign experts (such as Prussian Ambassador Benson and his wife) and asked them all kinds of questions.
And from time to time, I also want investigation reports about hospitals in Paris and Berlin. She studies for at least an hour every morning. As soon as the breakfast bell rings, she will quickly pack up her books and go downstairs to eat casually, looking like a clever girl.
And try not to mention your inner thoughts. Mother put her in charge of the storage room, pantry and wardrobe, and she dared not neglect it. She hoped that her mother would change her mind. She wrote to her friend Miss Clark and said, "I have to do a lot of housework.
Those clothes, glasses and China are all buried under my chin. They are simply boring. I can't help asking myself:' Is this life? Is this what a rational person, a person who is willing to do something, wants to do every day? "
Step 3 set up a nursing home
In her day, no one of status was a nurse. Nurses are often ignorant, rude, alcoholic and untrained women. She took advantage of the opportunity to go to Europe to learn about nursing work in various places.
Finally, she chose Kaiserworth Hospital, which she knew, and attended a four-month short-term training course in this hospital, 185 1, and finally realized her dream of studying as a nurse. During her study, she personally realized that nursing work should relieve patients' pain and give them spiritual comfort.
A lot of efforts must be made. 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 opposition, she resolutely went to Caesavis, Germany for nursing training. Her intelligence was discovered, and she was hired by 1853 as the director of the London Women's Patient Care Association.
Nightingale's ambition finally touched her father and promised to support her with 500 pounds a year. And on August 1853 and 12, with the support of the charity Committee, Florence Nightingale set up a nursing home atNo. Harley Street 1 in London.
Beginning to show her ambition, she took many measures, which surprised people at that time. If the patient is asked to ring the bell and a winch is set in the kitchen to deliver food to the patient, she emphasizes that "any woman, regardless of her faith or wealth, can accommodate her illness ..."
She showed extraordinary ability in her work, and everyone obeyed her. 1854 In August, cholera broke out in the slums on the outskirts of London. Nightingale volunteered to take part in emergency rescue work regardless of her personal safety.
Don't forget your innovative spirit.
Her parents and sister trembled with anger when they learned that she was a nursing "thief" and was still studying medicine in private. They banded together to punish her and told her to "think behind closed doors" and not to go out.
She had a cold war with her family for several years. Time flies. 185 1 On June 8th, Florence wrote in her notes with unprecedented firmness: "I must know that if I just wait and wait, the opportunity will slip away in vain.
From them, all I get is more and more conflicts. I obviously don't get sympathy and support. Should I just sit back and wait? Absolutely not! I must fight for everything I depend on.
I have to do my own thing. My life experience, my real happiness, depends on my efforts, they will never give me anything. "This time, she really did" what she said will be done, and what she did will be fruitful ".
First of all, she went to Caesar Woz on the pretext of going out to play; After studying there for two weeks, I decided to go to Frankfurt again in order to get a more systematic study. She calmly announced her decision to her family.
My father was calm, but my mother and sister panicked and tried to stop him. This time, Florence didn't flinch at all. The three of them had a big fight. Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, my father was angry and took his dog out of the house with a shotgun.
After he left, they quarreled even more. Mother even tried to slap her in the face, but she dodged deftly. Florence bravely left home the next day.
Step 5 give up love
At a banquet, she met Richard, a young philanthropist (who proposed to separate juvenile offenders from adult offenders in order to receive more reasonable and humane discipline). Richard fell in love with her at first sight, and they talked about poetry and painting together, and their feelings were happy.
When Florence was lonely and helpless, Richard's countless stationery gave her great spiritual comfort. She once called Richard "the person I admire". However, when he proposed, she thought for a long time.
Turned him down. She wrote to Richard that I was destined to be a vagrant. For my mission, I'd rather not get married, socialize and get money.
