Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May, 1820, into a very rich

family in Florence, Italy. She was named

after the city of her birth.

Her parents were William Edward Nightingale, born William Edward

Shore and Frances ("Fanny") Nightingale née Smith. William's mother Mary née Evans was the niece of one Peter Nightingale, under the terms of whose will William inherited his estate Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, and assumed the name and arms of Nightingale. Fanny's father (Florence's maternal grandfather) was the abolitionist William Smith.

She got a very good education. She knew music, art, literature, Latin and Greek. She fluently spoke Italian, French and German.

But ever since she was a child, she had nursed

the villagers and the sick dogs and cats and

horses round her home and wanted to be a professional nurse. Florence with her sister Frances Parthenope

Nightingale continued her

travels (now with Charles and

Selina Bracebridge) as far as Greece

and Egypt.

She read books on nursing, reports of medical societies,

histories of hospitals. She spent some time working as a nurse in

hospitals in France and Germany. Finally she

became superintendent of an Establishment for Gentlewomen during Illnesses in Harley

Street, the fashionable street of London’s most

famous doctors.

As a young woman Florence felt that God had called her to help others. She wanted to

be a nurse but her parents did not want her to become one. In those days, nursing was a career with a

poor reputation, filled mostly by poorer

women, who followed the armies. In fact, nurses were equally likely to function as

cooks.

She disobeyed her parents and trained as a nurse. Nightingale’s career in nursing began in 1851, when she received four months training in Germany.

After Nightingale returned to England, she devoted herself to medical reforms and wrote about the

importance of sanitation and diet for good health. She also wrote Notes on Nursing. It was written

specificially for the education of nursing at home. Now this book is considered a classic introduction to it.

She established the Nightingale School and Home for training nurses at St.

Thomas's Hospital in London in 1860. She spent the rest of her life promoting the establishment and development of

the nursing profession and organizing it into its modern form.

In 1907, Nightingale became the first woman to be awarded the Order of Merit. In 1908, she was given the Honorary Freedom of the City of London. Her birthday is now celebrated as International CFS Awareness Day.

The Order of Merit

It is a medal instituted by the International Committee of the Red Cross. It is the highest honour in the nursing profession. The Florence Nightingale Medal is awarded to people who distinguish themselves, in times of peace or war, by showing exceptional courage and devotion to the wounded, sick or disabled.

A statue of Florence Nightingale stands in Waterloo Place, Westminster, London,

just off The Mall.
