 | This blog is dedicated to Liam...a man that just tells it like it is... Nursing hasn't always been the unprofessional professional job that is today...Yes, Believe it or not Nurses used to be prostitutes... I know right? but let's think about it? They took care of people that were contagious and weak...thoughts times were tought...no antiboticos .. But Florence Nightingale whole heartedly... gave it her all and literally saved the lives of men at war...for this I honor her today as I did the day in May 2006 when I myself walked down the the isle amongst the lit lamps...To all my nurses out there I'm sending a a big hug and much needed thanks!!! |

Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC (pronounced /ˈflɒrəns ˈnaɪtɪŋɡeɪl/, historically [ˈflɒɾəns]; 12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English nurse, writer and statistician. She came to prominence during the Crimean War for her pioneering work in nursing, and was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" after her habit of making rounds at night to tend injured soldiers. Nightingale laid the foundation stone of professional nursing with the principles summarised in the book Notes on Nursing. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honour, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.

I'd be willing to bet you there are nurses outside the United States who are still prostitutes. It is so sad how some people can live in even the most expensive areas and not escape from a life of crime! Such a shame the inheritance money only gets a person so far in life, eh?
There are some great nurses out there! I salute you!
shelly: Wow..
Buffalo: Thanks hun...Hugs
I salute you too. Yes, there are some great nurses out there. I don't believe in enabling people to give though.
I think it takes a special type of person to be a nurse and some people in the field are highly dysfunctional.
Such with any field where there is giving. I think the key is in learning when to chuck the birdy out of the nest!
Excellent post, HH. Nursing is a hard,thankless job and only rewarding to people who do it out of love for humanity.
Three cheers for Florence. I am touched to be mentioned in the same breath although probably unworthy.
Shelly: Thanks much appreciated!
Liam: The mere fact that you face your problems and seek out truth is good enough for me!
Uber: Thanks suga..We nurses must stick together!
So many nurses do the work of doctors, without the pay or the respectability they deserve. They also prevent doctors from making tragic mistakes quite often. And they comfort the sick, as well as take care of them medically. They are angels on the earth.
