Blessed Hanna Chrzanowska, RN by Gosia Brykczynska
Woman of faith. Polish nurse. Medical pioneer. In Blessed Hanna Chrzanowska, RN: A Nurse of Mercy, discover the inspiring story of the first lay registered nurse to be beatified.Before a nursing school existed in her native Poland, Hanna Chrzanowska (1902-1973) chose to become a professional nurse. After she helped tend to war refugees during World War I, her pioneering career shaped Polish nursing, serving to form countless students as she helped innumerable patients.
Above all, Hanna was a committed Christian who followed the Gospel call to love and serve one's neighbor, even when the Communist government of Poland made that difficult. With the help of hundreds of student volunteers, professional nurses, and committed lay and consecrated people of the Krakw Archdiocese, she established parish nursing in late 1950s Krakw and introduced homebound and disabled patients to retreats, home Masses, and re-integration into parish life. Blessed Hanna worked closely with Cardinal Karol Wojtya. It was largely under her influence that, years later, as Pope St. John Paul I, he designated the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes as the World Day of Prayer for the Sick.
Her canonization cause was opened at the request of her nursing colleagues, who knew she was a saint.
