Florence Nightingale is considered the founder of modern nursing. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820 and died on the 13 of August, 1910. She was a celebrated English nurse, writer and statistician. An Anglican, Nightingale believed that God had called her to be a nurse. She came to prominence for her pioneering work in nursing during the Crimean War, where she tended to wounded soldiers. She was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" after her habit of making rounds at night. Nightingale laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment, in 1860, of her nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in London, the first secular nursing school in the world, now part of King's College London. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honour, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.

Florence Nightingale did not make any hospitals. That is NOT what she did and NOT what she is famous for.She was a social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing (not hospitals).
Florence Nightingale was a woman born in Florence, Italy. She was beautiful, had an active imagination and loved wrriting. many men wanted her hand in marriage. as for the crimean war, she and a group of nurses were sent to the crimean war to care for the hurt or sick soldiers. they cleaned up the filthy rat infested hospital and cooked much better food, and cared for the sick and injured soldiers.
according to freekibble.com, she had 60 cats.
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear. That is a quote by Florence Nightingale.
