Chin Tseng Jean-li
Chin Tseng Jean-li (Chinese: 靳曾珍麗; 29 August 1933 – 13 May 2010) was a Taiwanese nurse and politician.
Tseng's father held a doctorate and conducted research on marine botany. She chose to study nursing at the publicly funded National Defense Medical Center, as her family were unable to pay tuition at other institutions.[1] She later studied at Baker University in the United States and the Kuomintang-run Institute of Revolutionary Practice.[2][3]
Chin Tseng was elected to two terms on the Legislative Yuan via the Kuomintang's party list for proportional representation, serving from 1996 to 2002.[4][5] She was the first person with nursing experience elected to the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan.[6] During her second term, the Kuomintang became the opposition party for the first time in Taiwanese history, and Chin Tseng observed in 2000, "I felt I was maybe a bit too ferocious," in questioning new officials appointed by the Chen Shui-bian presidential administration.[7]
Chin Tseng headed several nursing organizations, including the Taichung City Nurses Association, the AIDS Prevention Foundation, the Taiwan Provincial Nurses Union, the Republic of China National Union of Nurses' Associations, and the Republic of China Nursing Society.[2][3] After stepping down from the Legislative Yuan, she returned to the National Union of Nurses' Associations.[8][9]
After her death in 2010, the Ma Ying-jeou presidential administration issued a commendation.[10]

說到這裡我必須提到台灣第一位有護理背景的立委是靳曾珍麗女士(1933-2010)，在她8年的任期內曾協助推動「護理人員法」的立法，奠基了台灣護理師的工作職責範圍與法律上的權益保障，也陸續主導或參與推動「專科護理師」、「學校護理人員」、「呼吸治療師法」、「心理師法」、「職能治療師」與「醫事放射師」等各種專業人員的法規與制度建立。
