Nurse

Florence Nightengale is mostly known for her radical innovations in nursing care. She was a pioneer in nursing and a reformer of hospital sanitation methods.

Born into a wealthy and well-connected British family at the 'Villa Colombaia' in Florence, Italy, she was named after the city of her birth, as was her older sister (named Parthenope for the old city that is now Naples). A brilliant and strong-willed woman, Florence rebelled against the expected role for a woman of her status, which was to become an obedient wife.

One of the first things that graduate

students (and college students too!) learn

is that there is never enough time in the

day. How can you keep yourself sane when

you're overloaded with courses, research,

teaching, and a life? Begin with using an

academic calendar to keep track of your

days. Time management entails more than

keeping a calendar, however. It is requires

identifying your obligations, carefully

considering their importance, and making

choices about how to use your time.

I hear the voice of love in repeated beating of your heart and murmur the song of spring freshness. If possible, I want to be an aperture to the blue sky of your heart from here darkness. And I want to go to listen to moonlight grievance and learn some words of friendship. I can't help responding the gnostic voice of love and going where the other half of red apple of life is donated on numerous kindness cloths. Open my hands and watch the sunrise of friendship and love and see my face which is full of freshness of your face.
