Today we had an eventful day with a visit to Westminster Abbey, the Florence Nightingale Museum, the London Eye, and finally we finished our day with a wonderful performance by the philharmonic symphony orchestra performing pieces by Beethoven, Haydn, and Strauss. It was a lovely day.
Throughout the day, I was reminded of my passion for nursing. I am proud to say that I am training to be in this profession, and am excited to enter this wonderful field. At Westminster Abbey, we were able to see the private nurse's chapel that was constructed after WWII to honor the nurses who cared for and treated wounded soldiers. There was a beautiful stained glass window that displayed a nurse with large hands, symbolizing a nurses care and devotion to the care for the ill and wounded. When I saw this, I felt like I could sincerely relate. I was so moved by this image and felt such a strong urge to help others as previous nurses have before me.
After we were able to attend the beautiful and magnificent Abbey, we also had the opportunity to visit the Florence Nightingale Museum. Again I am honored to be joining a profession that has had such wonderful, powerful, and strong women. Learning of Florence's life and accomplishments has made me desire to follow in her footsteps. Throughout the museum were magazine covers from the past displaying the profession of nursing. These pictures were beautiful and again made me proud and honored to be entering this wonderful and selfless profession. They say that men and women from around this world are called into the profession, saying that they know this is their destiny and duty in life to help others. I feel that this too is my calling to be a nurse, and today this feeling was strengthened even more after seeing the beautiful chapel and the museum dedicated to a wonderful woman.
Tomorrow we are off to Parliament and to St. Thomas Hospital. : )
