世界節(jié)假日博覽 第95期:國際護(hù)士節(jié)

Nurses do one of the most important jobs in the world. There is a special day for us to celebrate them. International Nurses Day (IND) is on May 12 every year. Of course, this is the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. On IND, nurses take part in different events to highlight the importance of their work. They give ordinary people a chance to learn about the work they do. Many hospitals and clinics organize fund-raising events to highlight the work of nurses. IND was started in the USA in 1965. The International Council For Nurses decided it was important to have a special day to raise awareness of the important work of nurses. It is also a day for nurses to pat themselves on the back and be proud of doing such a valuable job.
護(hù)士是世界上最重要的工種之一。因此為其設(shè)立特殊節(jié)日。每年的5月12日為國際護(hù)士節(jié)。那天也是南丁格爾誕辰。護(hù)士們會參與各種活動。普通民眾有機(jī)會了解他們的工作內(nèi)容。許多醫(yī)院診所會組織募捐活動。1965年，國際護(hù)士節(jié)源自美國。為了突出護(hù)士工作的重要性，國際護(hù)士理事會決定設(shè)立該節(jié)日。從業(yè)人員也應(yīng)為此而感到驕傲。


Florence Nightingale is known as the founder of modern nursing. She was British, but was born in Italy in 1820. She was named after her birth place, the city of Florence. She went to good schools and her parents thought she would marry a rich gentleman, which is what all good ladies did then. However, she felt the need to help people and became a nurse. Her parents were shocked. She started her nursing career when she was 33. A year later, she went to Turkey to help British soldiers wounded in the Crimean War. She worked very long hours into the early hours of the morning and got the nickname “lady of the lamp”. She greatly improved conditions in the hospital and changed hospital care and nursing forever.
南丁格爾被譽為護(hù)士職業(yè)創(chuàng)始人。1820年，南丁格爾出生在意大利，但她卻是英國人。因在佛羅倫薩出生，便名叫佛羅倫薩。她畢業(yè)于巍巍學(xué)府，向其它優(yōu)秀女孩一樣，父母認(rèn)為她一定會嫁給富豪紳士。然而，她樂善好施，成為了一名護(hù)士。父母為之震驚。南丁格爾的護(hù)士生涯從33歲開始。一年后，她前往土耳其，幫助在克里米戰(zhàn)場中受傷的英軍士兵。她經(jīng)常工作到凌晨，并得名“提燈女神”。南丁格爾極大改善了醫(yī)院狀況，醫(yī)療護(hù)理發(fā)展從此得到改善。
