OUR NATIONAL FLAG
Every free nation has a flag of its own. It is the symbol of independence and sovereignty (free) of a free country. Bangladesh is also a free country. So she has got a flag of her own. Her people feel proud of her flag because it means that Bangladesh is a free and sovereign country. It reminds us of the valiant struggle of our freedom fighters to set the country free. Its shape is rectangular, having a proportion of 10:6. It is of different sizes according to its use. The flag is hoisted everyday on top of our important government buildings and educational institutions. It is hoisted everywhere on the occasions of the independence day and the victory day. The national flag is kept half mast on the occasions of national mourning days. There are two colors. They are green and red. The green is the symbol of the youth and the red is the symbol of the sacrifices of the freedom fighters who laid down their lives. We salute the national flag and remember the supreme sacrifice of our freedom fighters. I feel very proud of my national flag because whenever and wherever I see a national flag it reminds me that I am a citizen of a free country. I can uphold its honour by doing our national duties properly.
NURSING
Nursing means to render services to the suffering humanity. Man has three duties -duty to God, duty to parents and duty to mankind. A nurse is such a person who dedicates her whole life to the service of the people who are ill, injured and wounded. The field she renders her dedicated service is called nursing. The job of a nurse is very noble. It enables a person to serve the suffering humanity. To be a nurse the minimum academic qualification is S. S. C in our country. Moreover, one has to study for three years in the nurses’ Training Centre and this is followed by one year’s practical training in any Medical College Hospital. This will lead one to have a (B. Sc. degree) in nursing. After completing the course successfully nurses are employed in hospitals and clinics. The job of a nurse is very tiring. She is always busy. She looks after the patients, pushes them injection when necessary. A doctor only prescribes medicines but it is a nurse who helps the patients in taking medicines. A nurse is very vigilant. She renders her heartfelt service to mitigate the agonies and sufferings of the patients admitted to hospitals and clinics. She shares the sorrows and sufferings of the patients. The importance of a nurse beggars description. Hospitals and clinics can not go even a single day without a nurse. But it is a matter of great regret that a nurse is not held in due respect. So steps should be taken to ensure due social and financial status for the nurses so that they can keep the torch of Florence Nightingale ever illuminated.
