文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Andrea Dalzell如何投身医学领域以及最终成为一名优秀护士的经历。

1 . Growing up in New York, as the daughter of two first-generation immigrants from Guyaria, Andrea Dalzell was taught the values of hard work and determination. What her parents didn’t realize at the time was how much Andrea would come to need these values — and that they would eventually become her calling card.

It all began at age 5 when Andrea was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. The condition led her to the full-time wheelchair use by age 12. Having already had 33 major operations, Andrea decided to devote her life to finding a cure for the pain she had gone through by pursuing a career in the medical field. Originally, she studied to be a doctor, but it didn’t feel quite right. “I was much more interested in hands-on work and caring for people, just like what my nurses did throughout my life,” Andrea explained. “They took my mom’s place when she couldn’t be there, and they knew how to make me smile even when I felt like I was at rock bottom.”

So she decided to become the first nurse in a wheelchair that she had ever seen! She was accepted into CUNY College of Staten Island’s nursing program in 2016. But as a student, she started to encounter new concerns. “There was this weight of never being allowed to be a student,” Andrea said, “How would I be able to keep my wheelchair clean, hold this, wipe this, turn a patient, and carry a washbowl full of water? All of these things were running through my mind.” Still, Andrea knew better than to let any barriers stop her. She passed her courses with high marks, earning her degree, passing her boards, and officially becoming a registered nurse!

After graduation, Andrea worked as a nurse at the school. When COVID-19 hit, she responded to the government’s call for nurses. Since then, Andrea’s incredible nursing achievements have gotten some of the praise they deserve. In September 2020, she was named a co-winner of the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation’s Visionary Prize and was awarded $1 million. And this was only the beginning of her great career!

2 . A new exhibition celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, an English woman whose ideas about cleanliness are vital to this day.

The exhibit can be seen at the Florence Nightingale Museum at St Thomas' Hospital in London. It marks the 200th anniversary(周年纪念) of Nightingale's birth. The exhibit tells the story of how she overcame difficulties to become the world's most famous nurse. The show recreates her bedroom and lets visitors hear a recording of her voice, and even smell the perfume she wore. Fiona Hibberts is a nursing consultant and works for the hospital's Nightingale Academy. She described Nightingale's work as "really, really significant" to future generations. "Obviously, she was a forceful leader," Hibberts said. "And we need clear, visible, strong leadership today and certainly in modern nursing."

The exhibition, called "Nightingale in 200 Objects, People & Places", will continue for a year. St Thomas' is one of a small number of hospitals in Britain with an area for the treatment of coronavirus patients. "The emphasis on good hygiene(卫生), fresh air, exercise, good food ... no matter how much we advance, those fundamental foundational principles of Florence are still very much the basis of modern nursing," Hibberts noted. She added, "It's the same old message: Wash your hands."

Nightingale became world famous after she and a small team of medical workers travelled to modern-day Istanbul during the Crimean War. It was fought mainly on the Crimean Peninsula in the middle of the 1850s. Nightingale helped treat British soldiers wounded in the fighting. In an unclean hospital, she witnessed thousands of soldiers die from infectious diseases. Their deaths led to her decision to try to improve conditions. The lamp she used when visiting patients at night, as well as the nurses' uniform she created, is on display at the exhibition. Yvonne Moores is Chair of the Florence Nightingale Foundation and Britain's former national Chief Nursing Officer. "If Florence Nightingale herself was here, she would be supporting all that is being said at the moment. She was absolutely into infection control and hand-washing, being very observant."
