The Lady with the Lamp - Nightingale's Hymn
You carry an oil lamp
Step gently
Walk through a ward
Another ward
The inspection gaze
Like this beating flame
Burning with care, care and responsibility
This is not an ordinary oil lamp
From the moment you light it
One night in 1854
It stays on
One and a half centuries are not far away, yesterday and today
Those angels in white
are guided by your brilliance in ordinary days
Carving time
Following your footsteps
They work silently in the fields of life
Eradicating the grass and gravel of disease
Sow seeds little by little
Hope and health
With hard work and sweat
Interpretation of dedication and dedication
This light shines Light up every ward full of pain
Also light up the heart of every patient. Nightingale, a woman whose name is as immortal as her spirit, you are the most beautiful scenery standing high on the roof of the world< /p>
There is a bronze statue of a lady on the street in London. The bust of this lady is printed on the back of the 10 pound note. She is Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. The British regard her as the pride of Britain. The famous American poet Longfellow even wrote a poem to praise her achievements, praise her noble spirit, and call her a hero in the female world.
The only wish: to be a good nurse
Nightingale was born into a wealthy immigrant family in Florence, a historic city in central Italy, and later moved to the UK with her family. He was diligent and studious when he was young, read all kinds of classics, and received a good education. She studied at the University of Paris in France and is proficient in English, French, Italian and German languages. Her parents hoped that she would develop her talents in literature and music and join celebrity society, but she had little interest in this.
She once wrote in her diary: There are three paths before me: one is to become a writer; the other is to get married and become a housewife; the third is to become a nurse. She despised the idle and parasitic life of ladies, attacked the social moral concepts of the time, advocated equality between men and women, and encouraged women to participate in labor. She chose the third path regardless of her parents' objections.
Ms. Nightingale had a kind and loving heart since she was a child. She cherishes life. When a small animal raised at home is injured, she carefully bandages it. Nightingale has a lofty ideal and believes that the true meaning of life lies in doing something useful for mankind. Being a good nurse is her only wish in life.
One day in 1837, Nightingale felt that she heard the voice of God, asking her to complete a mission. At that time, British hospitals were dirty and chaotic, and most of the nursing work was performed by women, whose social status was the same as that of servants. Their work is hard and long. At the same time, due to lack of nursing knowledge, patients do not receive proper care and the mortality rate is high. Nightingale realized that caring for the sick was not just a woman’s gift but also required knowledge. In 1844, she set out from the United Kingdom to travel across the European continent. She traveled to France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and other countries, and inspected hospitals in various countries. In 1850, despite her family's objections, she decided to go to Kaiserthwaite, Germany, to receive nursing training. Her talent was discovered, and in 1853 she was employed as overseer of the London Society for the Care of Sick Women.
During the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856, French army hospitals had nurses caring for the sick and wounded. However, the British field hospitals were poorly managed, the rescue conditions were very poor, and there were no nurses to care for the sick and wounded. The mortality rate of soldiers was as high as more than 50%. Nightingale took the initiative to apply to volunteer as a nurse in the battlefield. At the invitation of the British government, she led 38 nurses to the front line and served in 4 field hospitals.
At that time, the frontline supplies were scarce, water sources were insufficient, and medical care was extremely poor. But she was not discouraged, rescued the sick and wounded with enthusiasm, and tried her best to overcome all kinds of difficulties. She reorganized the hospital, improved the nutritional and hygienic conditions of the wounded, reorganized the bathrooms, laboratories and kitchens, as well as the supply of dressings, equipment and drugs, and strengthened wound care. She was full of compassion and responsibility for the wounded, provided them with necessary supplies and food, organized the soldiers' families to work together, and increased their nutrition, thus changing the appearance of field hospitals. In about half a year, the mortality rate of the wounded and sick dropped to 2.2%. She became a legendary figure in Britain.
Nightingale was kind and amiable, loved the sick and wounded, took her work seriously, had 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 in hand, caring for every wounded soldier meticulously. The wounded soldiers were so moved that they lay on the bed and kissed her figure on the wall, expressing their high respect for her and unanimously expressing their respect for her. She was affectionately called the "Lady with the Lamp." Her story spread widely.

She made outstanding contributions to hospital management, military health care, nurse education and training, etc., and was hailed as the founder of modern nursing education by later generations.

She trained more than 1,000 nurses in her lifetime. His major works "Hospital Notes" and "Nursing Notes" have become basic textbooks for hospital management and nurse education. It promoted the development of nursing work and nurse education in Western European countries and even around the world. Thanks to her efforts, nursing became a science. In 1901, Nightingale became blind due to overwork. In 1907, the King of England issued an order to award Nightingale the Order of Merit, becoming the first woman in British history to receive this highest honor. After her death, in compliance with her will, no state funeral was held.
