Florence Nightingale was an English aristocrat who received an education only available to men. The terrible events deeply touched Florence, and she decided to use her extraordinary abilities for good. Since the wounded soldiers needed constant care, the woman gathered a group of nurses who went to field hospitals in the Crimea. Although the surgeons were skeptical about this idea, the woman did not stop at nothing.

During the war, the nurse increased the number of wards in hospitals so that the wounded were not so crowded and more comfortable. She went around them even at night, every day. The nurses and nurses who worked with her also worked tirelessly. Grateful wounded soldiers always spoke very warmly about the woman who helped them survive. According to available data, the death rate during the war was reduced tenfold! In addition to routine medical care, Nightingale organized laundries and kitchens, set up reading rooms, and helped write letters to relatives. Before leaving for her homeland, the nurse put a white marble cross on all the medical workers who died in the Crimean War.

With a kind, gentle smile in his eyes.

But her eyes still shine brightly,
And she is ready to help the sick.

There are different moments
During the working days of a nurse:
Injections, enemas, documents -
The movements are precise and fast.

She is the first assistant
Every country has a doctor.
But sometimes nerves give in -
How not to break loose?

Let all patients wait -
Nurses need to rest
After all, these moments are so rare,
Allowing you to sit down and breathe.

Accumulate knowledge, nerves, strength -
Without them it is absolutely impossible, in any way.
May they be on this holiday, dear
All troubles are nothing.

May sun in the hospital room
Plays on the wall with a beam.
A nurse in a short coat
Flutters like a white butterfly.

"Follow me, dear patient,
You have biochemistry. Urgently!"
After you? Fine! At any moment I
I'll run headlong, even at night!

"A little patience, my sick friend,
It might hurt a little...”
Believe, from your divine hands
I will accept all torture with dignity!

The trembling in my body is not from fear, no.
Rather, it is from excitement.
I would like to find support for the hand
On your beautiful knees...

The opponent suddenly appeared at the door -
Toothless grandfather laughs.
Naughty, he didn’t wilt at all from illnesses:
“Are you zhamush, or not?”

After all, only sometimes from looking at you
The patient gets better.
And the light that shines from fabulous eyes,
Heal any pain.

Happy Nurse's Day today
Congratulations on behalf of all patients.
The ocean of kindness given to us
Let it come back to you with a percentage!

Let's write a recipe for your fate:
May happiness be poured into life!
There - immensely love potion,
Extract from passion! Cito!

Someone will bite or suddenly cut myself,
I'm going to the hospital with a rainbow dream,
That I will again bask in your eyes,
That I have a date with a nurse.

These white robes won't hide
No long legs, no cello stand,
And sweet hopes will not perish
Get well in the hospital bed.

Well, today is a noble occasion
Raise the test tube with a large degree,
Celebrate this international day
That the nurse has become a family holiday.

For your ultra-sterile gowns,
For your views, they drive you crazy
For clean hospital rooms
Which without you is almost a prison.

Live long, happily, richly,
Married, divorced and no one's
While draws, free girls,
My nurses are coveted!

author

Wait, little sister
I really need it!
I will say this for you
The day is yours
Work as a reward
And fatigue sets in again!
Your look is kind
Comes from the soul
How are you all this
... have time ...
Joy and work go together
You have a holiday today - you know?

author

The sick are sick of you
Only feeling a mile away
Tongues in the mouths go numb
Seeing this beauty...

Dear Nurse,
Happy Holidays to you again!
Be airy like a bird
Do not pass by us!

Let injections or enemas
At least they'll wait a while
And all our organisms
They will say "bravo" for your work!

How to live without a nurse
In the white mourning of hospitals?
I'll pinch out of habit,
So that sparks from the eye sockets.
From the most tender message
The bruise is pouring
you are very nice today
They answered me like this.
I won't be offended one bit
Yet your holiday has come,
Pour, come on, drop by drop,
Until the doctor saw

history of the holiday

This is a professional holiday that appeared in honor of the Englishwoman Florence Nightingale, who created the first organization of nurses during the Crimean War. Then they took on the duties of nurses - they carried the victims from the battlefield. Nightingale was in her early 30s when she and other nurses traveled to Turkey to treat wounded Englishmen. The mortality among them was about 50%, but the efforts of Florence managed to reduce this figure to almost zero. It was on her initiative that the division of patients by wounds was launched.

Then this great woman organized a school for the training of nurses. It was opened at the St. Thomas Hospital, which is located in London. It was Nightingale who developed the nursing staff training system. Then Florence died - but her memory lives on, the Red Cross annually issues medals in her name, and on the holiday they congratulate those who have chosen the same path.

The holiday was officially recognized in 1974. It has been celebrated in Russia since 1993. Nurse's Day began to be celebrated from the moment the sisters of mercy from 141 states of the planet Earth united into a professional public organization, which was called the International Council of Nurses. This profession of a nurse is one of the ten most revered specialties in the world.
