Florence Nightingale

"From a very young age, Florence Nightingale was active in philanthropy, ministering to the ill and poor people in the village neighboring her family's estate. By the time she was 16 years old, it was clear to her that nursing was her calling. She believed it to be her divine purpose. She was a very famous nurse."
"Florence Nightingale born on 12 May 1820 was a well known and celebrated English social reformer, and the founder of modern nursing. She came into the limelight while serving as a nurse during the Crimean war where she helped the doctors in treating the wounded soldiers. She was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" after her habit of making rounds at night in the hospitals and checking that no soldier was facing any difficulty or pain or distress. Early 21st century commentators have asserted Nightingale's achievements in the Crimean War. But her later achievements remain widely accepted. In 1860, Nightingale laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment of her nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in London. The nurses had to take a Nightingale’s Pledge which was named after this illustrious nurse. Her social reforms include improving healthcare for all sections of British society; improving healthcare and advocating for better hunger relief in India. Nightingale was born to a wealthy upper-class family. Unitarian religious inspiration led her to devote her life to serving others, both directly and as a reformer. This woman left this mortal world on 13 August 1910."
