The Lady with the Lamp: Florence Nightingale

1820 – 1910

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy in 1820, into a wealthy

British family. She was named after the city where she was born. Florence
grew up in England but traveled often in her youth. Florence was well
educated and very good at analyzing data. Her upbringing and friendships
helped shape her ideas of women in society. In her teens, Florence felt a call
from God to serve others as a nurse, despite her parent’s disapproval. In those
days nursing was seen as a low-ranking job, primarily for men only. Ripe with
passion, she went on to train to become a nurse at a school in Kaiserwerth.

Florence Nightingale is most well known for her work during the
Crimean War as the first British female nurse. When she arrived at the
military barracks in Turkey, she found that many injured soldiers were
suffering in poor sanitary conditions. She convinced the government to send
a pre-made hospital and supplies from Britain to Turkey to improve the
medical conditions. Florence helped reduce the death rate of the soldiers
from 42% to 2% in her time there, a big accomplishment! She was very
humble and never took the credit for the lowering death rates.

After the war, she took what she had learned from collecting data back
to Britain. She taught other nurses about the importance of sanitary hospital
conditions and proper nutrition at the Nightingale Training School. Her great
works changed nursing for the better, and she was awarded with many
medals and awards for her service. Although her parents did not want her to
enter the profession of nursing because it was a lowly job, Florence found
great success and changed how nursing was seen for the better. She is now
known as the founder of modern nursing.

Florence was nicknamed ‘Lady with the Lamp’ because of her

dedication to checking in on and ministering to her patients late at night. She
had a servant heart and was a devout follower of Christ, praying for her
patients often. The throughline that Florence Nightingale best demonstrated
during her life was servant working. Florence listened to the call of Christ in
her life, and she used the unique skills she was blessed with in her early life to
help others. After a long and impactful life, at the age of 90, Florence
peacefully passed away in her sleep in 1910.
