Description
As a child in England, Florence Nightingale's favorite game was playing hospital with her dolls. As a young girl, she often nursed people in her own village. Her family thought nursing was not a suitable occupation for a young lady, but Florence became such a good nurse that the British government sent her to Russia during the Crimean War. The wounded soldiers never forgot Florence's courage and kindness. She not only changed methods of wartime nursing, but later started the first school for trained nurses in London.
