Dear Nurses: RECOGNIZING NURSING LANDMARKS AND FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

Updated 9/25

Dear nurses,

Advancements in Nursing has taken many twists and
turns.The iron lung machine was once used for mechanical
ventilation. Today however, it has been replaced by ventilators
that can make a patient's life a lot easier.

Let us not forget to give the credit to Florence Nightingale, the
one who started with simple things such as love, caring and compassion.

We have now come a long way from the simplicity that
started this noble profession, but those words can still be
valuable to us all.

So, let us try to remember to try to love and care for our
patients, family and coworkers. I truly appreciate all that
I have learnt over the years, from bad situations to good
ones.

These have all come together to make a great contribution
for teaching. Learn more about: DKA
