Question

10/N 524
This is a brief review of the career of a woman who nearly 100 yean
ago opened the eyes of the world to the new science of nursing. We know
her as Florence Nightingale, but to the soldiers she was better known
the Angel of Crimea or simply as the Lady of the Lamp.
Florence Nightingale was born 125 years ago in Florence, Italy. Unlike
so many of our other pioneers, she was the daughter of wealthy English
parents and reared more or less in luxury. As a young woman, she became
somewhat of a problem to her parents. They saw she was not happy in being
just a young lady of fashion, She had, what was to them, an unhealthy
and unnatural interest in Nursing. Nursing in those days was far from what
we know today. A hundred years ago the majority of hospitals were centers
of misery, suffering and in too many cases, dirt.
But, despite all this, Florence still wanted to be a nurse, and finally
persuaded her parents to let her attend the Deaconess Training School at
Kaiserwerth in Germany. For two years she studied and worked under rigorous
conditions but instead of being discouraged, she wrote her mother, "This
is Life ! I wish for no other world but this." About this time, the Crimean
War between England and Russia broke out and a vicious battle was fought
on the little Black Sea Peninsula. The British were victorious but the joy
at home was short-lived. Resorts began to filter back to London of the terrific
loss of life--not so much on the battlefield but in the military hospitals. In
fact, over 400 out of every thousand in the hospitals were dying. Sidney
Herbert, British Secretary at War and friend of the Nightingales, was at
a loss as to just what to do until he thought of Florence. And she, in turn,
saw this as just the chance for which she had been waiting. So, after carefully
collecting a large store of supplies, she arrived at the battlefront in November
1854 with her 38 nurses just after the Battle of Balaklava(summary writing)​
