Sažetak
The authors describe the development of tending for patients, in view of the development of surgery in Osijek. A number of changes in the society and science reflected on tending activities. At the time when the treatment could not always achieve results, tending was an activity independent of medicine. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent had been running the Huttler-Kollhofer-Monsperger Endowment Hospital from 1874 to 1893 and tending the sick and the feeble. It was a long way from semi-skilled to a trained nurse. The first high-school-trained nurse was employed at the Department of Surgery in 1950 and the first senior nurse in 1957. Since 1977 nurses have actively participated in the professional meetings of the nurses in surgical branches of medicine. For the nurses and medical technician of the Osijek Clinical Hospital the Homeland War in Croatia was the biggest exam of their knowledge and skills. The authors conclude by presenting the data on the present situation of the tending personnel and emphasizing the importance of education and professional improvement of nurses as a contribution to better tending for the surgical patients.
