By Hedrick Lepsch


Nursing students dealing with all the pressure and stress associated with nursing school sometimes question whether or not they chose they correct path. To get an RN or an LPN it takes dedication and hard work. The lifestyle isn't for everybody. Nursing students can look towards their predecessors for inspiration. For example, Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first African American nurse to earn her degree in nursing is a particularly inspiring story. Her courage a dedication to nursing opened the door for an entire race to begin practicing the noble profession. Mary is an example of a courageous personality type that fits in well in the nursing field. Below is a list of personality types that excel in nursing. If you possess one or more of these personality traits, then nursing is probably a good fit for you!

Nurses make a difference in people's lives. To many of the elderly and sick, their nurses are their heroes and saviors. It takes courage to serve people on such a personal and important level. Day in and day out, nurses are helping people recover from illnesses. If you are discouraged in nursing school and don't think that you can handle the pressure, please don't give up. People need you to be courageous. People need you to undertake this honorable lifestyle and be their hero.

During Mary's years serving as a nurse in France, she saw many new techniques that she would take home. She trained and studied the healthcare system and found ways to meet the needs for women in rural America. She would take this home, to the mothers and babies throughout her home.

Nightingale was ambitious, in 1860 after many years of personal experience. She laid the foundation of professional nursing. Young ladies could then attend nursing school to gain professional experience at St. Thomas' Hospital in London. Being the first school of its kind, she trained young minds.

Her mind was also keen, as it was her gift for math that first gathered attention. She was able to present her argument visually through data in charts and graphs. Nightingale presented her material in what is now called the Polar Area Diagram or Rose Diagram. It illustrated seasonal sources of mortality in patients, or magnitude of conditions, and even the nature of illnesses. At the end of her career, she was able to create a chart of the sanitation in Indian life - being the final push for medical care improvements in that area of the world.

Every year, celebrated on her birthday is International Nurses Day. Countless statues, museums, and moments now stand in her name.She continues to live as a legend through the teachings at school, theater, television, film, and numerous biographies. The Bank of England released banknotes with the image of Florence Nightingale, which were circulated until 1994. She lives in the memories of those she impacted and in the textbooks of many hopeful nurses trying to obtain an RN degree. Florence Nightingale was an inspiration to many because of her bold desire to achieve perfection.
