Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy. Her interest in nursing was evident from childhood. She would then spend time taking care of her injured dolls and animals as she gradually grew into a beautiful young woman and married a wonderful young man to enjoy life.
But she remained unmarried and devoted her life to serving the poor and sick. When the Crimean War broke out between England and Russia. She went to the field with several nurses. There they ministered to sick and wounded soldiers. Florence Nightingale worked there without rest and many a time with a candle in her hand she ministered all night to the poor sick soldiers. Hence, she was known everywhere as “The Lady with the Lamp”.
