She was born in Florence, Italy on 12 may in 1820, she was the first greatest nurse in the world. She was a Victorian, and those people didn´t usually go to school, but Florence did, because she thought that everyone should get an education. When Florence was 12 years old she decided that she wanted to do something with her life, she wanted to be a nurse. Her parents didn´t like that she was going to be a nurse because they were usually working-class women. Florence went to Germany to learn about nursing and she was very happy working as a nurse.
When the Britain entered the Crimean war Florence was one of the nurses that were there and helped the people that had been sick or wounded. She made the hospitales cleaner and safer and the death number at the hospitales went down from 40% to 2%. After the war she wrote a book how to make better hospitales. Florence died August 13, in 1910 in London.
