More than 3000 nurses from Australia served with the Australian Army Nursing Service or the British nursing services during World War I. These nurses served in various theatres of war including Egypt, France, India, Greece, Italy and England. They worked in numerous roles including as a surgical team nurse close to the front working under fire; nursing on hospital ships carrying the sick and wounded; or managing hospital wards overrun with patients whilst dealing with a lack of hospital necessities. The skills and roles needed to be a military nurse significantly differed to the skills required to nurse in Australia.
第一次世界大战期间,超过3000名澳大利亚护士在澳大利亚陆军护理服务部门或英国护理服务部门服役。这些护士在包括埃及、法国、印度、希腊、意大利和英国在内的各个战区服务。她们担任了许多角色,包括在前线附近冒着枪林弹雨工作的外科手术团队护士;在运送伤病员的医院船上护理;或者在医院必需品短缺的情况下管理挤满病人的病房。成为一名军事护士所需的技能和角色与在澳大利亚从事护理工作所需的技能有很大不同。
