[Department of Nursing] What we can learn from Nightingale in the midst of COVID-XNUMX

"Notes on Nursing" was written by Nightingale more than a century ago, but it still serves as the starting point for nursing thought and is a must-read for anyone studying nursing.

In that book, Nightingale wrote, ``Nursing is the proper arrangement of fresh air, sunshine, warmth, cleanliness, quietness, etc., and the proper selection and proper provision of food—these things. It should mean that all of these should be arranged so as to minimize the exhaustion of the patient's vitality."

First-year students of the Department of Nursing spend weeks desperately trying to understand the meaning of Nightingale's words in the "Introduction to Basic Nursing" class, which is the first specialized nursing subject after entering the university.Each student thinks about words that are written in difficult expressions, and deepens their understanding through group work.At a presentation held the other day, he presented his learning that "ventilation is very important to keep the air that patients breathe as clean as the outdoor air." It was taught by the founder, Nightingale.Despite the difficult situation, the students are steadily progressing step by step on the path of nursing without losing to corona.
