Women caring for the sick is an ancient phenomenon, but women having a specific training and doing this as a profession dates back to the Crimean War in the 1850s, when Florence Nightingale first set up a team of nurses to improve the extremely bad conditions and very poor care that the British wounded had to suffer.
