Less than 200 years ago, most hospitals were dirty and unhealthy places. Then, one person
changed everything. Florence Nightingale was the first great nurse of the world. She changed nursing into
a respected profession, and she set standards for clean, safe hospitals all over the world. Her picture hangs
on the walls of many hospitals.
hen Florence was twelve years old, she decided she wanted to do something useful with her
life. She en!oyed visiting sic" people in the neigh#ourhood.
Florence was very special #ecause most $ictorian middle%class women didn&t have careers, #ut
Florence wanted to #ecome a nurse. Her parents wanted her to get married, #ut their disapproval didn&t
stop her from doing what she wanted.
Florence went to 'ermany to learn a#out nursing. (t that time, nurses learned through
e)perience, not through training. Florence loo"ed after sic" people, gave them medicine and helped during
operations.
*n +,-., /ritain entered the 0rimean ar. Florence and a team of 1, nurses went to the 0rimea
to help the wounded soldiers. The military hospitals were dirty and #adly organi2ed. Florence made the
hospitals clean and safe. The num#er of deaths in hospitals went down from .03 to 23.
Florence was "ind and gentle with the soldiers. She tal"ed to them and gave them hope. hen
she wal"ed around the hospital at night, she carried a lamp and that&s how she got the title &The Lady with
the Lamp&.
(fter the war, Florence wrote a #oo" e)plaining how to ma"e hospitals #etter. 4eople from all
over the world as"ed for her advice on designing hospitals. Florence thought that nurses should learn
through #oth e)perience and training. *n +,50, she opened her training school for nurses. Today, the
Nightingale Nurses still care for the sic" and the poor.
