In a Hospital

Let me introduce my friend Nina. She is already a nurse at a hospital. She works at the therapeutic department. Nina is one of the best ward nurses. Everything she does in the ward she does quickly and quietly.

Work at the hospital begins early in the morning. At 6 o'clock the nurses begin to take the patients' temperature. They write it down in temperature charts. Then the nurses give the patients medicines and carry out other prescriptions of the doctors.

Besides they open the windows and air their wards. If there is a bed patient in the ward, the nurse takes special care of him. She brings a basin and washes the patient's face and hands, brushes his sheets or changes them. Then the nurses give injections to the patients.

When doctors come and begin to examine their patients, every ward nurse tells the doctor about the condition of her patients. Nina is very attentive. She tries to observe any changes in the patient's condition. Nina is especially patient with old people. She never hurts (ображати) her patients with rude (грубий) words.

I want to be like Nina. I like my future profession and I know that much of the nurse's work can be learnt by practice. That's why I often help Nina at the hospital.

IV. Independent Work: Florence Nightingale

Exercise 1. Ознайомтесь із життям та діяльністю Флоренс Найтінгейл, прочитавши текст. Поставте 10 питань до тексту.

Florence Nightingale was one of the greatest women in the history of England. She was born on May 12, 1820, in the Italian city of Florence after which she was named. Florence was a highly educated woman. She spoke Italian, French and German with ease.

During her childhood and youth she was chiefly interested in taking care of poor people in hospitals; her dream was to become a nurse. In her days, nursing was done only by women of the lowest moral class. In fact, when women were charged in the police courts they were often given the choice of going to prison or to hospital service.

Her parents were horrified and did all they could to prevent it, but Florence was not to be turned aside. Whenever she was abroad she visited hospitals, read books on nursing, reports of medical societies, histories of hospitals. She spent some weeks as a sister in a hospital in Paris and three months in a nursing school in Germany. When Florence was 34, she became superintendent of an "Establishment for Gentlewomen during Illness". She had been there a year when the Crimean War broke out. One of the hospitals where injured soldiers received treatment during the war was in a place called Scutari. That's where 39 British nurses led by Florence Nightingale arrived from London in 1854.

In less than twelve months, Florence Nightingale and her 38 nurses turned Scutari into a clean, well-organised hospital.

Florence Nightingale often worked for twenty-four hours on end dressing wounds, helping surgeons in their operations, easing the pain of the sick, comforting the dying. Every night, carrying a little oil lamp to light her way, she walked by the beds, four miles of them. To the soldiers she was "The Lady with the Lamp", and they worshipped her.

Florence Nightingale changed the whole system of the hospital organization of the army. She wrote books on nursing. She started the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas's Hospital. She changed the whole idea of hospital planning and is the founder of modem nursing.

In 1907 she was given the Order of Merit, the highest civil honor the Government can give and the first ever given to a woman. Three years later Florence Nightingale died.
