1. Kind-hearted Once, a little titmouse died. She wrapped the bird in a handkerchief, buried it under the pine tree in the garden, and erected a small tombstone with an epitaph on it.
"Poor little tit/why did you die/the crown on your head/is so beautiful//but now/you are lying there/ignoring/indifferent to me."
Since she was a child, she has been a loner and is not as naughty as other children.
She is stubborn and stubborn, sentimental, and seems to be too precocious.
She grew up alone in the bustling world.
2. Giving up wealth. Under tremendous mental pressure, she gritted her teeth and did not give in.
She began to secretly study hospital reports and government blue books.
She also wrote privately to foreign experts (such as the Prussian Ambassador Benson and his wife) and asked them for advice on various issues.
Moreover, from time to time, reports on investigations into the conditions in hospitals in Paris and Berlin were requested.
Every morning, she studies for at least an hour.
When the breakfast bell rang, she would quickly put away her books and go downstairs to eat as if nothing had happened, looking well behaved.
Also try not to mention your inner thoughts.
Her mother asked her to take charge of organizing the storage room, pantry and wardrobe, and she did not dare to neglect at all.
She hopes her mother will change her mind.
She wrote to her friend Miss Clark: "I have to do a lot of housework. The clothes, quilts, glasses, and porcelain are buried up to my chin. They are simply boring. I can't help but ask myself: 'This is
Life? Is this what a sensible person, a person who is willing to make a difference, wants to do every day? '" 3. In her era when the nursery was established, no one with status was a nurse.
Nurses are often ignorant, rude, alcoholic, and untrained women.
She took advantage of the opportunity to travel to Europe to learn about nursing work in various places.
In the end, she chose Catherworth Hospital, which she had learned about, and participated in a four-month short-term training course at the hospital in 1851, which finally made her dream of studying nursing come true.
During her studies, she experienced firsthand that nursing work requires relieving pain and providing spiritual comfort to patients.
Hard work must be put in on many fronts.
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 opposition, she decided to go to Kaisersweis, 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.
Nightingale's ambition finally moved her father and promised to support her with five hundred pounds a year.
And on August 12, 1853, with funding from the Charity Commission, Nightingale established a nursing home at 1 Harley Street, London.
She began to realize her ambitions and took many measures that amazed people at the time.
For example, the patient call bell was used, and a winch was set up in the kitchen to deliver meals to the patients. She emphasized that "any woman, regardless of religion, rich or poor, can be admitted as long as she is sick..." She showed extraordinary ability in her work, and everyone
She obeyed everything she said.
In August 1854, cholera broke out in the slums on the outskirts of London. Nightingale volunteered to participate in emergency rescue work regardless of her personal safety.
4. Don’t forget your original intention. When her parents and sister found out that she had a stubborn attitude towards nursing and was still studying medicine privately, they were all trembling with anger.
They teamed up to punish her, making her "close herself up and think about her mistakes" and not allow her to leave the house.
She had a cold war with her family for several years.
Time flies. On June 8, 1851, Florence wrote in her notes with an unprecedented firmness: "I must understand that relying on blind persistence and waiting, opportunities will pass by in vain.
Slip away. All I get from them is intensifying conflict. Should I just sit back and wait for death? I must fight for everything on my own.
. For my career, I must do it myself. My life's fortune and my true happiness depend on my efforts. They will never give it to me." This time, she did.
When it comes to "words must be deeded, deeds must bear fruit".
First, she went to Kaisersworth under the pretext of taking a break; after studying there for two weeks, she decided to go to Frankfurt again in order to obtain more systematic study.
She calmly announced her decision to her family.
My father was still calm, but my mother and sister were panicked and tried their best to obstruct him again.
This time, Florence didn't back down at all.
The three of them had a big quarrel.
Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, the father got angry and walked out of the house with his shotgun and his pet dog.
After he left, they became even more noisy.
The mother even wanted to slap her, but she nimbly dodged it.
The next day, Florence bravely left home.
5. Abandoning love At a banquet, she met the young philanthropist Richard (it was his suggestion to separate juvenile delinquents from adult delinquents 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 had a pleasant relationship.
