Florence Nightingale grew up in a wealthy family who live outside the city of London, surrounded by the parties continue, a summer house called Lea Hurst, and a trip to Europe. But in 1837, at age seventeen, he wrote in his diary, "On February 7, the Lord spoke to me and called me to serve Him." But what service?
He realized that he felt excited and very happy - not because the social status of a wealthy family - when she was caring for poor families who live in shanty huts around Embley, his family home.
By the time Florence was twenty-four years, he was convinced that his calling is to care for the sick. But in the 1840s, the respectable English girl would not have anything to be a nurse. In those days, nurses do not exceed the function as the assistant did all the work in the hospital - a public hospital (the rich man was treated at home) - and is considered as a drinker or a prostitute ... ... ...
But Florence, who was not married and still living with her parents, feel almost crazy because ketidakproduktifan and frustration. He asked the American visitors a doctor, dr. Samuel Howe, "What is inappropriate for an English girl devote his life to become a nurse?" He replied, "In England, all the unusual is not a proper. But it is not something that is not possible or is not natural for a lady when doing a job that brings goodness to others. "
Florence often wondered, why the Protestant churches do not like the Catholic Sisters of Charity - a way for women to devote his life to serving others. Dr. Howe told him about Kaiserworth in Germany, founded by the Rev. Theodor Fliedner. The place has hundreds equipped hospital bed, the nursery school, a prison inhabited twelve men, a psychiatric hospital for the orphans, schools to train teachers, and training school for nurses accompanied by hundreds of deacons.

Florence uses this opportunity. He arrived with a team option consisting of 38 nurses.

In 1860, Nightingale School of Nursing opened in London and first grade students with fifteen young women. Throughout his life, before she died when she was sleeping at the age of ninety years old in 1910, he worked tirelessly to make the changes in the military associated with health and medical care.
