Hello!

I am VERY interested in nursing history, and focusing on Florence Nightingale. I have been in England many times, not for shopping, but for trawelling her footsteps....Of course not only hers, but other nurses too, as well as medical history. I have so many interersting thing to share/learn.

I know my English is not that god....but I am trying....

What about a dicussion forum for "nursing history?

Anyone with the same hobby or interst? I would be glad to hear from you! :)

"The old operating Theatre, Museum and Herb Garret"

This operating theatre they found in 1956 in a churh tower!!!

They often have performances their, for adults but also children: The first time i visited the place, they had a performance for children about "Victorian surgery" (about 1850, for the poor people)....I learned so much!!!

There is an area on this site that is one of my favorite quirky internet sites: the gravesite series, which is a "virtual" graveyard where you can visit the graves of famous nurses. I enjoy nursing history too, and would love to learn more about it in other countries too.

I know a website on nursing history in Chinese. There are some content about it you want to read. Can you read Chinese?"

A-rose, I would love to read Chinese, but unfortunately I can't. Is there any chance there may be some translation of this somewhere?

And is there anyone else with different countries' nursing histories out there? I am always so curious about stuff like this.
