Introduction of Florence Nightingale
In the history of China and foreign countries, there are not many figures, especially female figures, who can overcome all difficulties and establish special achievements with persistent beliefs. Florence Nightingale, the originator of modern nursing and the founder of modern nursing specialty, is one of the most representative great British women. She is known as the originator of modern nursing.
Nightingale's parents have been traveling all over Europe since 18 18 got married. 18 19, the mother gave birth to her first daughter in Naples, so she named the child Ba Snop Pasnopo after the Greek name of the city in memory of Florence's sister Ba Snop Nightingale.
1820 Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, when her parents were traveling in Europe. Her parents named her after the city. This name, which is rare in 1820, has become almost a household name with the passage of time. Thousands of girls in the world are named Florence to show their respect for Florence.
Florence nightingale was born into a noble and wealthy family. Her father William Edward Nightingale (died at 1874) graduated from Cambridge University. She is a knowledgeable and well-educated person, engaged in statistical work. Mother Fanny Smith Nightingale (died in 1880) was also born in an aristocratic family in England. She is not only well-off, but also good for generations and is well-known in her hometown. Florence nightingale studied at the University of Paris. She is familiar with math, English, French, German and Italian. Besides classical literature, she is also good at natural science, history and philosophy, and is good at music and painting. Nightingale was educated at home since she was a child. When he was less than 10 years old, he had been able to write a diary freely in French for more than two years, and the words in the diary were also neatly written. On the cover of the diary is written "La Vie de Frans Manciniu", which means in French-a biography of the nightingale. Nightingale, nightingale is the English meaning of nightingale. Her mother is very dissatisfied with her because she has no plans to get married. She chose to be a nurse among housewives, writers and nurses.
Since childhood, nightingale has developed a strong interest in nursing work. When she is on holiday in the country, she often takes care of sick villagers. As early as 1837, she began to care about the nursing situation in the hospital and had the idea of learning nursing work. She often takes the opportunity of sightseeing to visit monasteries, girls' schools and orphanages and ask about the situation and management methods of charity. On May 24th, 1838, I visited Queen Victoria. During 1849, florence nightingale met Theodore Fieldner on his way back to Egypt (1an influential figure in German nursing history in the 9th century). 1850 In August, florence nightingale arrived in the long-awaited city of Wilt, Kaysers, and worked as an intern in the Deaconess Training College founded by Flieder Le couple for two weeks. She inspected the operation of this charity in detail, wrote a 32-page paper "Kaiser Weiss School on the Rhine", and called on British ladies to be deacons in Kaiser Weiss. 185 1 year, florence nightingale went to the Deaconess Training College run by Pastor Flidner and stayed for three months. From 65438 to 0853, he visited the nursing organizations and facilities of the Sisters of Charity in Paris, and after returning to China, he became the director of the Nursing Association for Sick Women in London. From 1854 to 1856, in the Crimean War, Nightingale used her humanity and charity to serve the wounded on both sides. After the war, she was regarded as a national hero. Because of her outstanding contribution in the war, Queen Victoria of England at that time awarded florence nightingale the Medal of Saint George and a beautiful brooch.
1857, with her efforts, the Royal Army Health Committee was established. In the same year, the Military Medical School was established. In the same year, India was in turmoil. She and Hebert (Sidney Herbert) urged the government to improve the living environment of Indian troops, but they didn't get a response. Florence's paper "How should people in India live to avoid death" read at the social science conference in 1863 has aroused great repercussions. In 1873, she used the same article to explain the reform and progress of sanitary equipment in India in recent ten years.
1860, florence nightingale established the world's first formal nursing school in St. Thomas Hospital. She successfully promoted nursing work from the "sewage-like" social bottom to a respected position. Later, she began to train midwives and nurses in the workhouse. Her main works such as Hospital Notes and Nursing Notes have become the basic teaching materials for hospital management and nurse education. Because of her efforts, nursing has become a science. Her idea of running a school spread from Britain to Europe, America and Asian countries. Under her influence, Swiss philanthropist Jean-Henri Dunant founded the International Red Cross in Geneva on 1864. 1876, she was indignant that nursing homes treated patients like beggars, so she complained to the authorities and suggested setting up facilities for mental patients to isolate infectious diseases and other cases, which prompted the establishment of the London Poor Bill. 1883 awarded to the royal red cross, 1887 established the nurses' association.
1900, Nightingale's 80th birthday, birthday letters were sent from all over the country, and they were sprinkled on her in her later years. Some of these letters were sent by emperors and kings, and some were named "Florence" to commemorate angels. 190 1 year, florence nightingale became blind due to overwork. 1907, the global red cross issued a eulogy, and Edward VII was awarded the nightingale medal of merit, becoming the first woman in British history to accept this highest honor. 1March 908 16 Nightingale was awarded the London City Freedom Award.
19 10 In August, Nightingale died suddenly in her sleep at the age of 90. Nightingale never got married. Throughout her life, after the whole Victorian era, she made superhuman contributions to the creation of nursing career. She devoted all her life to the reform and development of nursing and achieved brilliant achievements that attracted worldwide attention. All these make her an outstanding and great woman admired and praised by the world in the19th century. In order to commemorate her achievements, in 19 12, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) proposed that hospitals and nursing schools all over the world hold commemorative activities on Florence Nightingale's birthday on May 12 every year, and change May 12 to International Nurses' Day to remember and commemorate this great woman.
After nightingale died, according to her will, there was no state funeral. Later generations praised her as "the angel of the wounded" and "the lady with the lantern"
Nightingale anecdote
Have a good heart and give up wealth.
William's father and Fanny's mother are of noble blood. In England, they have two homes: Ewing Villa and Empoli Garden. Every summer, the scorching sun, their whole family like migratory birds, non-stop to the "secluded villa" for the summer; For the rest of the year, they live in Emporay Garden. In spring and autumn, the whole family went to visit relatives and friends in nearby London, and they were very busy. Little Florence spent her childhood in a paradise.
Strangely, however, her excitement is often not on her friends. She likes riding a pony and chatting and playing with cats, dogs and birds around her. She is happy to take care of them. Once, a little tit died. She wrapped the bird in a handkerchief, buried it under a pine tree in the garden and set up a small tombstone with an epitaph on it.
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.
Empely Garden is thriving, but outside it is bleak. In Britain from 65438 to 0842, the economy was extremely depressed, and hungry people filled every corner. Florence wrote in her notes: At any time, I can't let go of those who suffer in my heart. ...
1843 July is the hot season. When the Nightingale family went to Ewing Villa for the summer again, she ignored her family's opposition and helped the poor around her. Not afraid of being dirty or suffering, she spends more and more time in the patient's hut. Because many patients are short of clothes and food, she often forces her mother to give her some medicine, food, sheets, bedding, clothes and so on. She uses these things to help the poor solve their urgent needs. Florence didn't want to give up halfway when she wanted to return to Emporay Garden. She wants to stay here. However, it is ridiculous for mother to think that the daughter of a noble family should do something else and waste time caring for those poor people. Father and sister are also on the mother's side. Florence is isolated.
In the British concept at that time, it was very dirty and dangerous to deal with all kinds of patients. People always avoid talking about the words "hospital" and "nursing" because they are terrible and humiliating things. Due to the backward medical level, declining national strength and frequent wars, hospitals in Britain after 1844 are almost synonymous with misfortune, depravity, sloppiness and chaos. Due to the lack of necessary management, it sometimes looks like an insane asylum. In Florence's view, the most unacceptable thing is not the terrible medical conditions mentioned above, but the poor reputation and low quality of "nurses" in hospitals.
1845 In August, Florence went to Manchester with her father to visit her sick grandmother. Because grandma was seriously ill, bedridden and lacked care, she always stayed with her to take care of her. Soon, grandma's health improved greatly. Later, the old nurse, Mrs. Gail, fell ill again. Florence hurried home again to take good care of Mrs. Gail, who was terminally ill. Florence waited until the old man died and didn't leave.
In the autumn of this year, a plague was prevalent in the countryside near Emporay Garden. Florence, together with the local pastor, took an active part in nursing patients. She has proved herself again and again, and her belief in life is more firm.
At that time, people thought that nursing was simple and did not need training. Even Florence herself once thought that as long as she had patience and compassion, she could help patients relieve their pain, which was the whole of nursing work. One day, she saw a woman with her own eyes and died painfully in front of her. The patient took the wrong medicine. "She must die unsatisfied, and those caregivers' poisoned' her!" The idea greatly stimulated her. From then on, she knew that nursing was an important knowledge. In order to realize her dream, she has no choice but to learn this knowledge.
A few miles from Empoli Garden, there is a clinic. The attending physician, Mr. Fuller, is very famous. It is said that he graduated from Oxford University and is an old friend of the Nightingale family. So Florence intends to persuade her parents to give her a period of time and allow her to study in this clinic. It happened that Fuller and his wife were invited to be guests in Emporay Garden, and she proposed to worship Fuller as a teacher in front of her parents.
Unexpectedly, a storm broke out. Father is gone; Mother was mad and said that she couldn't stand this strange idea any longer; Even my sister screamed hysterically, saying that she must be "possessed"-this is not only beneath the nobility, but also brings germs into the house and kills the whole family.
The Fullers are embarrassed. In order to appease the nightingale, they had to "throw cold water on Florence" and persuade her to give up the idea.
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, go downstairs and grab something to eat, and act like a clever girl, trying not to mention her 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 make a difference, wants to do every day? "
She also received an olive branch of 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, but refused him. 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.
Florence once expressed her attitude of pursuing celibacy in a letter and talked about her views on marriage: "The general prejudice is that, in the final analysis, one must get married, which is the inevitable destination. However, I finally feel that marriage is not the only one. A person can make himself feel full and satisfied and find more fun from her career. " Since then, she has rejected all suitors.
At Florence's request, Sir Benson gave her a book: Caesar Woz's Yearbook of Christian Charity Women. The book introduces Caesar Woz's advanced concept and related situation in nursing.
After reading it carefully, she was overjoyed. As a charity medical institution, Caesar Woz has been her dream place for many years. There, all the conditions are relatively complete, and she can get proper training. At the same time, the religious atmosphere and rules and regulations there also have a "shield" to ensure that the reputation of nurses is not accused by public opinion.
However, she dared not rashly ask her parents to go directly to Kaiserworth, but took advantage of the opportunity to recuperate after illness to come to Frankfurt first, where the nursing career is also in the forefront of all countries. She learned a lot of useful things in the clinic. Two weeks later, when she left, she felt that she was qualified to be a qualified nurse.
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 and my real happiness depend on my efforts, and they will never give me anything. "
This time, she really did "what she said must be done, and what she did must 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. Her father was still calm, but her mother and sister panicked and tried to block it. 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. I came to the shelter of Reverend Sidwell Flidner, where there is a hospital, a nursery, an orphanage and a school for training female teachers.
Florence lives in a small room in an orphanage. Her workplace is an orphanage and Frankfurt Women's Hospital. She learned to do all the work, refused to fall behind at all, and even took part in surgical care. It's hard for her. After all, in those days, for a noble woman, it was completely indecent. She knows this, but she doesn't care.
During this period, she wrote several letters to her family, introducing her situation and eager to get back together with her family. On her 32nd birthday, she thanked her family for their blessings and wrote a letter to her father Wayne. It says:
"Although my age is really not small, I will stick to my mission even more. Actually, I'm very happy, because I'm free at last. My unfortunate adolescence has passed, and I don't miss it very much. It will never come back, and I am happy about it, because it means that I will be reborn. "
Space is limited, and the details are here.
