This Hungarian beauty is in the WHO’s campaign introducing the job of nurses and midwives – photos

Change language:

Franciska Németh is a former Hungarian actress who is now working in a Budapest hospital as a nurse and communications advisor. She was chosen to be the face of Hungary in the World Health Organisation’s campaign introducing nurses and midwives.

Ms Németh said to euro.who.int that she has already interviewed musicians and celebrities and done photoshoots for fashion magazines, but she has never felt as cool as nowadays when she puts on her uniform and scrubs. Franciska Németh is

currently studying nursing at the Semmelweis University in Budapest

where she is a third-year student aiming to get her Bachelor’s degree soon.

Before her undergraduate studies, Franciska underwent advanced vocational training in nursing and now works at the paediatric surgery and traumatology department of the St John Hospital in Budapest, euro.who.int reports.

Franciska became well-known in Hungary for her role in the Hungarian soap opera, Barátok közt, in which she already portrayed a nurse in 2003. However, today, the 34-year-old woman says that “nothing is more rewarding and exciting than working with young patients in the emergency ward.”

After she finished acting, she tried her luck in public relations and communications, but she soon realised that she would like to do something worthwhile and meaningful

where she could make a difference to someone’s life.

I completed the advanced vocational training to become a nurse and then decided to also pursue a 4-year-long Bachelor’s degree while working. Eventually, I want to do a Master’s degree as well. There are numerous career opportunities in nursing, though emergency care is the area I want to work in,” she explained to the WHO.

  1. When you enter the medical profession you have to realise that it is a “calling” and not a business
    enterprise.
    At the same time those special people who wish to dedicate their lives to benefit other people’s need
    to pay their bills as well.
    The euphoric feeling of helping others will fade and very soon the material needs take over.
    Those VERY SPECIAL FEW who retain their humanity after a few years are sadly rare.
    I always feel happy and grateful when I come across a nurse or a doctor who is friendly and helpful
    and who doesn’t make you feel that you are talking to a robot.
    I do hope fervently that Franciska is one of those people who will be able to retain her friendliness and
    humanity.
    We desperately need attitudes like that in Hungary, the overwhelming need and the wonderful feeling of
    doing a job to which there is no equal.
    Franciska, you will have an army of people who will think you are an angel.
