The card reminds me of a famous nurse. Fer name was #lorence

Nightingale. She was 8ritish. Nowada!s% a lot of priDes for nurses are

named after her. I got to know about her when I was reading a book about

famous and admirable people in the word. She is remembered throughout

the world for her heroic% almost superhuman labors during the Gar. She

dealt with hospitals% the health of the 8ritish soldiers as well as the health of

the working people. The school of Nursing stands supreme among her

magnificent achie"ements. Ge now know that the profound reforms needed

in hospitals of all kinds% and in e"er! phase of our common li"es with its

e"er!da! human needs% are dependent upon her. lmost all modern

nursing s!stems and techniques we know toda! can be traced back to her.

She took )6 women to Turke! to nurse wounded and sick 8ritish soldiers in

the war. This was the first time the go"ernment had allowed women to dothis. Gith her patience and lo"ing heart% man! soldiers were sa"ed% but she

21



suffered from some ps!chological disease for the rest of her life. She

became not onl! the first modern war nurse and nurse commander but its

first documented ps!chological casualt!. E"en when she was old% she was

working hard in the hospital. I was deepl! impressed b! her when I was

reading her biograph!. She not onl! encouraged me to de"ote to m! workbut also inspired me to make some inno"ations to m! work.
