International Nurses' Day

The May 12th, is known as International nurses day, this day is set up in memory of Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale is the legend in the field of medicine. From 1854 to 1856, there was a war between Anglo-French allied force and Russia, many soldiers died in this world due to poor caring condition. As a nurse, Nightingale made up her mind to change this situation. She and others nurses paid more attention to the wounded nursing and nutrition. After half year of hard working, the death rate had dropped down to 2.2%, then the whole Europe known about this. In the year of 1860, she set up the first nurse school in England, and cultivated many excellent nurses. Because of her contribution, lots of patients recovered soon. 
5月12日是國際護士節。這一天是為了紀念弗羅倫斯?南丁格爾護士而成立的節日。南丁格爾在醫學界是個傳奇。在1854年到1856年之間，英法聯軍與沙俄發生戰爭，許多士兵在戰爭中由于照顧不當去世了。作為一名護士，南丁格爾下定決心要改變這一現狀。她和其他的護士比之前更注重傷者的照看和營養。通過大半年的努力，死亡率下降到了2.2%，然后全歐洲都知道了這一消息。在1860年，她在英國建立了第一所護士學校，并培養了很多優秀的護士。因為南丁格爾的重要貢獻，許多病人恢復的很快。

After Nightingale passed away, the International Council of Nurses decided that May 12th is the nurse day. Her spirit, love, patience, care and responsibility, has become the service principles of the whole world nurses. To be a nurse, is not only a job, but also a career. This year, the main theme of the nurse day is Nurses: Nurses: A Force for Change-A vital resource for health. 
在南丁格爾去世之后，國際護士理事會決定把每年的5月12號定為護士日。她所提倡的精神：“愛心、耐心、細心和責任心”成為了全世界護士們所遵守的服務傳統。今年，護士節的主題是“護士：變革的力量，重要的健康資源”。

In my humble opinion, the whole society should respect the nurses and show our thanks to them. Because of them, the patients can recover sooner and better. Without them, this world can be different. I wish every nurse is healthy and happy. 
在我看來，整個社會都應該尊敬護士，并對他們表示感謝。因為他們，病人才能夠更快更好的康復。沒有他們，世界會變得不一樣。我祝愿天下的護士健康快樂。

Happy international Nurses’ Day!
