Florence Nightingale

ফ্লোৰেন্স নাইটিংগেল

Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May, 1820 in Florence, Tuscany, Italy.

ফ্লোৰেন্স নাইটিংগেলৰ জন্ম ১৮২০ চনৰ ১২ মে'ত ইটালীৰ টাস্কানিৰ ফ্লোৰেন্সত হৈছিল।

Though she was born in Italy, she was brought up in the U.K.

যদিও তাই ইটালীত জন্মগ্ৰহণ কৰিছিল, তাইক যুক্তৰাজ্যত (U.K.) ডাঙৰ-দীঘল কৰা হৈছিল।

She was named after the city of her birth.

তাইৰ জন্মস্থানৰ চহৰখনৰ নামেৰে তাইৰ নাম ৰখা হৈছিল।

Her elder sister Frances Parthenope had similarly been named after her place of birth, Parthenope.

তাইৰ বায়েক ফ্ৰান্সিছ পাৰ্থেনোপৰ নামো একেদৰেই তাইৰ জন্মস্থান পাৰ্থেনোপৰ নামেৰে ৰখা হৈছিল।

Florence is famous for her nursing work during the Crimean War (1853–56).

ফ্লোৰেন্স ক্ৰিমিয়ান যুদ্ধৰ (১৮৫৩-৫৬) সময়ত তাইৰ নাৰ্চিং (শুশ্ৰূষা) কামৰ বাবে বিখ্যাত।

Florence’s father William Nightingale was a wealthy landowner.

ফ্লোৰেন্সৰ দেউতাক উইলিয়াম নাইটিংগেল এজন ধনী মাটিৰ মালিক আছিল।

She was brought up in Derbyshire and Hampshire.

তাইক ডাৰ্বিশ্বায়াৰ আৰু হেম্পশ্বায়াৰত ডাঙৰ-দীঘল কৰা হৈছিল।

Florence spent her summer in Derbyshire and her sister in Hampshire.

ফ্লোৰেন্সে গ্ৰীষ্মকাল ডাৰ্বিশ্বায়াৰত আৰু তাইৰ বায়েকে হেম্পশ্বায়াৰত কটাইছিল।

Florence Nightingale’s father taught her and her sister a variety of subjects ranging from science and mathematics to history and philosophy.

ফ্লোৰেন্স নাইটিংগেলৰ দেউতাকে তাইক আৰু তাইৰ বায়েকক বিজ্ঞান আৰু গণিতৰ পৰা আৰম্ভ কৰি ইতিহাস আৰু দৰ্শনলৈকে বিভিন্ন বিষয় শিকাইছিল।

As she grew up she developed an interest in helping others.

ডাঙৰ হোৱাৰ লগে লগে আনক সহায় কৰাৰ প্ৰতি তাইৰ আগ্ৰহ বাঢ়িছিল।

At the age of seventeen she believed that she was called into service by God to do something for the helpless and miserable.

সোতৰ বছৰ বয়সত তাই বিশ্বাস কৰিছিল যে ভগৱানে তাইক অসহায় আৰু দুৰ্দশাগ্ৰস্ত লোকসকলৰ বাবে কিবা এটা কৰিবলৈ সেৱালৈ মাতিছে।

At first her parents refused to allow her to become a nurse but at last her father gave his permission.

প্ৰথমে তাইৰ মাক-দেউতাকে তাইক নাৰ্চ হ'বলৈ দিবলৈ অস্বীকাৰ কৰিছিল কিন্তু অৱশেষত তাইৰ দেউতাকে সন্মতি দিছিল।

Then Florence went to Germany to undergo training and became a nurse in 1851.

তাৰ পিছত ১৮৫১ চনত ফ্লোৰেন্স প্ৰশিক্ষণ ল'বলৈ আৰু নাৰ্চ হ'বলৈ জাৰ্মানীলৈ গৈছিল।

After two years she became the superintendent of the hospital for Gentlewomen in London in 1853.

দুবছৰৰ পিছত ১৮৫৩ চনত তাই লণ্ডনৰ 'হস্পিতাল ফৰ জেণ্টলৱমেন'ৰ অধীক্ষক হৈছিল।

In 1853 the Crimean War broke out.

১৮৫৩ চনত ক্ৰিমিয়ান যুদ্ধ আৰম্ভ হৈছিল।

Florence was asked to go to Turkey to manage the nursing of British soldiers wounded in the Crimean War.

ফ্লোৰেন্সক ক্ৰিমিয়ান যুদ্ধত আহত ব্ৰিটিছ সৈন্যসকলৰ শুশ্ৰূষা পৰিচালনা কৰিবলৈ তুৰস্কলৈ যাবলৈ কোৱা হৈছিল।

She travelled to Scutari to help the wounded soldiers.

তাই আহত সৈন্যসকলক সহায় কৰিবলৈ স্কুটাৰীলৈ যাত্ৰা কৰিছিল।

She was very sad to see the poor condition of that hospital.

সেই চিকিৎসালয়খনৰ দুৰৱস্থা দেখি তাই বৰ দুখ পাইছিল।

The wounded soldiers were sleeping in overcrowded and dirty rooms.

আহত সৈন্যসকল অত্যধিক ভিৰ আৰু লেতেৰা কোঠাত শুই আছিল।

They didn’t have blankets and decent food.

তেওঁলোকৰ কম্বল আৰু উপযুক্ত আহাৰ নাছিল।

Diseases such as typhus, cholera and dysentery spread among the soldiers.

সৈন্যসকলৰ মাজত টাইফাছ, কলেৰা আৰু গ্ৰহণীৰ দৰে ৰোগ বিয়পি পৰিছিল।

Many of them died of infection and diseases.

তেওঁলোকৰ বহুতেই সংক্ৰমণ আৰু ৰোগত আক্ৰান্ত হৈ মৃত্যুবৰণ কৰিছিল।

Florence and her nurses set up a kitchen and dug latrines for sanitation.

ফ্লোৰেন্স আৰু তাইৰ নাৰ্চসকলে এটা পাকঘৰ স্থাপন কৰিছিল আৰু অনাময় ব্যৱস্থাৰ বাবে শৌচাগাৰ খান্দিছিল।

They asked for help from the wives of the wounded soldiers.

তেওঁলোকে আহত সৈন্যসকলৰ পত্নীসকলৰ পৰা সহায় বিচাৰিছিল।

They became able to take good care of the soldiers and the death rate of the soldiers dropped.

তেওঁলোকে সৈন্যসকলৰ ভালদৰে যত্ন ল'বলৈ সক্ষম হৈছিল আৰু সৈন্যসকলৰ মৃত্যুৰ হাৰ হ্ৰাস পাইছিল।

Florence often visited the soldiers at night when they were asleep.

ফ্লোৰেন্সে প্ৰায়ে ৰাতি সৈন্যসকল শুই থকা অৱস্থাত তেওঁলোকক চাবলৈ গৈছিল।

She carried a lamp as she walked through the halls of the battlefield hospital.

যুদ্ধক্ষেত্ৰৰ চিকিৎসালয়ৰ প্ৰেক্ষাগৃহবোৰৰ মাজেৰে খোজ কাঢ়ি যাওঁতে তাই এটা চাকি (লেম) কঢ়িয়াই নিছিল।

So she was referred to as “The Lady with the Lamp”.

সেয়েহে তাইক "দ্য লেডী উইথ দ্য লেম্প" (চাকি হাতত লোৱা মহিলা) বুলি কোৱা হৈছিল।

Thus she became a true hero to the soldiers and even today people admire her work.

এনেদৰে তাই সৈন্যসকলৰ বাবে এগৰাকী প্ৰকৃত নায়ক হৈ পৰিছিল আৰু আজিও মানুহে তাইৰ কামৰ প্ৰশংসা কৰে।

On 13 August 1910, at the age of 90, Florence Nightingale died at Mayfair, London.

১৯১০ চনৰ ১৩ আগষ্টত ৯০ বছৰ বয়সত লণ্ডনৰ মেফেয়াৰত ফ্লোৰেন্স নাইটিংগেলৰ মৃত্যু হয়।
