Florence Nightingale — The founder of modern nursing
1. Florence Nightingale was born in Florence (Italy) on 12th May 1820 to a rich and wealthy family. When she was about 20 Florence began to take an interest in helping the sick people and becoming a nurse. Her parents were shocked and angry about her decision to study nursing at a Salisbury hospital. At the time nearly all nurses came from poor families.
2. Later in 1851 Florence and some of her friends went to Kaiserwerth (in what is now Germany) where they had three months training at the hospital. She returned home as a trained nurse and in 1853, when she was 33, she took a job running a small private hospital in London.
3. In 1854 the Crimean War started. Journalists reported that British soldiers were dying because there weren’t enough doctors, nurses and medical supplies. On 4th November 1854 Florence Nightingale and 38 other nurses arrived at Constantinople. Florence was shocked by the conditions in the hospital – it was dirty, rats and fleas were everywhere.
4. Florence made lots of improvements to the hospital in Constantinople. She cleaned the drains, filled the hospital stores with clean sheets and bandages, and made sure that the soldiers were well fed and cared for. The soldiers called her the ‘Lady with the Lamp’ because she used to walk the hospital wards at night to check on her patients.
The Crimean War ended in 1856 and Florence returned to England. Now she was a national heroine. At her own expense, she installed a white marble cross in the Crimea in memory of the victims of the Crimean War.
5. In 1859 Florence Nightingale wrote a book about caring for the sick called Notes on Nursing. She believed that all nurses should be properly trained, and in 1860 she set up the Nightingale Training School for nurses in London. Florence carried on writing reports about ways to improve health care and to develop the nursing profession.
6. Florence Nightingale died in 1910, aged 90. The work of the Nightingale School of Nursing continues today. Her book is still used at schools and considered as a classic introduction to nursing. In 1912, the International Federation of Red Cross established a medal named For true charity and concern for people that cause admiration of all mankind. This award is the most honorable for the sisters of mercy anywhere in the world. There is a Florence Nightingale Museum in London and The International Nurses Day is celebrated on her birthday each year.
