Hospitals have not always been clean,quiet places.Long ago they were dirty and overcrowded.Nurses were never taught how to look after their patients and many people died.This is the story of Florence Nightingale,who changed all this.
Florence was born in 1820.Growing up,she was a quiet and serious young girl.She spent a lot of time playing with her dolls.She would pretend that the dolls were sick and she was their nurse.People would bring sick or hurt animals to her to look after.She often went with her mother to visit the poor people.They took food and medicine to the sick.It was these visits that first gave her the idea of becoming a nurse.
Her chance came in 1854 when Britain went to war with Russia.Florence was asked to take a group of nurses to look after the sick and wounded soldiers.The hospitals were dirty,and there was not enough medicine.Florence and her team cleaned the hospital rooms and beds.They made sure that the bandages were clean and that the soldiers got enough medicine.Florence and her team worked hard.At night she would go from room to room checking on the patients.There was no electricity so she would carry an oil lamp with her to see where she was going.She often stayed to talk to the patients,especially if she could see that they were scared or dying.
After the war,F(xiàn)lorence opened a school to teach nurses to look after their patients properly.She never really got better from the illness that she had in the war and she died in 1910.
