Florence Nightingale was born in Florence，Italy．，while her wealthy parents were traveling in Europe．As a child，she traveled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages．
When Nightingale was seventeen，she told her family that she was going to help sick people．（82）F．But Nightingale made up her mind to be a nurse．

In 1854，England was fighting a war with Russia．War reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospital that cared for the wounded．（84）A．Nightingale was asked to take some nurses into the war hospitals．So，in November 1854，Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital．
She took along thirty eight nurses whom she had trained herself．At first，the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals．（85）D But in fact，the nurses did make a difference．They worked around the clock．，tending the sick．Thanks to their hard work，many wounded soldiers survived．
After the war，Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes．Finally，in 1860，she started the Nightingale School for Nurses．In time，thanks to Florence Nightingale，nursing became an important of medicine．
