Historical Over View of Nursing

According to Islamic information about
Nursing it is said Hazrat Muhammad (May
peace be upon him) permitted Hazrat
Ruafaida to take care of injured soldiers
during war. So she prepared a group of
ladies to take care of and as the regards of
her services she was called first nurse in
nursing history.

Cont
According to Christian history some nuns of
middle age in church felt the pain of their
sick church fellows and they came in the
field of providing care which was
encouraged by many others so this
association became useful for community
and when it was organized was named
nursing.

Italian, French and German.
From early age when she was a baby she nursed
the animals but at the age of nine she decided to be
useful person for sick human being. As she was

nuns.

Lady o the Lamp

As the historians has written she used to had her
private round holding a little lamp in her hand so
