Finnish nurses worked abroad already in the 19th century, before nurse education had started in Finland. Reasons for going abroad were the desire to help people, to acquire education, knowledge and experience, to look for a job or to seek adventures or love. In the course of time the reasons have remained nearly the same. Many of the first matrons got their education abroad. On the other hand, Finnish nurses have voluntarily joined the Red Cross ambulances abroad from the last century until today. Study trips were popular already in the beginning of this century, and nowadays a time abroad or at least congress visits are a part of everyday life. Many Finnish nurses have held prominent positions. The most remarkable among them is Sophie Mannerheim, who was President of the International Council of Nurses in 1922-1925. Missionary work in Africa and other developing countries has attracted believers, while others are employed by the World Health Organization.
芬兰护士早在19世纪就开始在国外工作了，那时芬兰的护士教育尚未起步。出国的原因包括帮助他人的愿望、获取教育、知识和经验、寻找工作、寻求冒险或爱情。随着时间的推移，这些原因几乎没有改变。许多首批护士长都是在国外接受教育的。另一方面，从上个世纪至今，芬兰护士一直自愿加入国外的红十字救护车队伍。学习旅行在本世纪初就很流行，如今，在国外呆一段时间或至少参加国际会议已成为日常工作的一部分。许多芬兰护士担任过重要职务。其中最杰出的是索菲·曼纳海姆，她在1922年至1925年期间担任国际护士理事会主席。在非洲和其他发展中国家的传教工作吸引了一些信徒，而另一些人则受雇于世界卫生组织。
