Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
May
12th
is
chosen
as
this
day
as
it
was
florence
nightingale's
birthday,
broadly
acknowledged
and
revered
as
the
pioneer
of
modern
nursing
florence
nightingale
once
said,
and
I
quote
rather
ten
times
I
would
die
in
the
surf
heralding
the
way
to
a
new
world,
then
stand
idly
on.
The
shore
end
quote
as
a
woman
of
action.
A
She
chose
to
step
away
from
the
prestige
of
her
family's
status
and
instead
chose
to
become
a
nurse
serving
her
community
and
ultimately,
her
country,
nurses
today
know
the
difficulty
and
sacrifice
of
stepping
away
from
their
families
to
serve
their
communities.
Finding
new
ways
and
new
worlds
of
bringing
about
better
health
outcomes
quote
how
very
little
can
be
done
under
the
spirit
of
fear.
A
Our
nurses
arrive
with
vigor
courage
and
compassion,
as
they
know
that
very
little
can
be
done
under
the
spirit
of
fear,
but
nightingale
made
the
path
easier
for
other
war
outbreaks.
Education
nightingale's
mission
was
to
improve
the
systems
in
which
she
served
by
saying
quote:
were
there
none
who
are
discontented
with
what
they
have
the
world
would
never
reach
anything
better.
End
quote
to
all
the
nurses
serving
today.
