Florence Nightingale

 

Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820 in the city of Floren­ce in Italy. Her rich parents hoped that she would follow the path of most upper-class Eng­lish girls and spend her time visiting friends and going to parties, in the hope of meeting a wealthy husband. But Florence had other ideas.

When she was eighteen, Florence became convinced that her aim in life was to care for the sick. This idea horrified her parents, because in those days nurses were usually rough women, with little or no medical trai­ning. But in spite of her parents’ objections, Florence secretly studied nursing and worked out plans for improving the running of hospitals. Gradually she overcame her parents’ opposition, and began visiting and working in hospitals.

In 1854 Florence Nightingale was asked to lead a group of nurses to care for British soldiers wounded in the bloody battles of the Crimean War. Florence went to the Crimean War together with 38 nurses to help soldiers get better.

When she arrived with her nurses, Florence Nightingale found thousands of sick and wounded British soldiers crammed into a filthy hospital with not enough food and supplies. Within a few weeks she arranged for the hospital to be cleaned and organized food and medical supplies.

As a result, the sick and wounded were far more comfortable. She was devoted to the care of her patients and the soldiers loved her. They called her the “Lady of the Lamp” because each night she walked through the dark wards with her lamp, bringing comfort to the sick and dying.

Florence Nightingale returned home in 1856 and was met as a he­roine. But she took no notice of all the praise and instead set about working to improve army hospitals in England. She also concerned herself with health problems in British colonies overseas, especially India.Florence Nightingale became a well-known adviser on nursing all over the world. In 1860 she established the first training school fornurses, the Nightingale School for Nurses at St Thomas's Hospital in London.

 She did not teach at the school, but instead organized the trai­ning and provided much advice. She laid down strict rules for the be­haviour of nurses and made sure they were taught basic skills of first aid and hygiene. The nurses were also taught to run hospital wards in an organized and orderly way. Many of them went on to work abroad and brought her ideas to other countries.

After a long life of service to other people, Florence Nightingale died in 1910, at the age of ninety.
