Born in a rich family, Florence Nightingale took lessons in music and drawing and read great books when she
was young. As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them,
So she decided to be a nurse, but her father was strongly against her decision.
She went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, she started a nursing home
for women. During the Crimean War (克里米亚战争) in 1854, Florence went to the front hospital. She used her
own money to buy beds, clothes and food for the wounded(受伤的) soldiers. Her only pay was the smiles from
the lips(嘴唇) of dying soldiers. After she returned to England, she was praised(赞扬) for her work by Queen
Victoria. But she said that her work had just begun. She raised(筹款) money to build the Nightingale Home for
Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health. |
