Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was a nurse who received her nickname during the Crimean War. She cared for wounded patients 20 to 22 hours a day, even at all hours of the night. That's why the injured soldiers called her The Lady with the Lamp.

Because of her work to educate nurses, she is considered one of the founders of modern nursing.
