Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910) was a famous nurse of Victorian era. Despite the fact that she was born in the rich family, Florence went to work and at the same time train as a nurse at Salisbury Royal Infirmary. She soon became an expert on hygiene. In 1859 Florence wrote a small book called ‘Notes on Nursing’, with a special section on taking care of babies. The book sells millions of copies all over the world. In 1860 she opened the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St Thomas Hospital in London. Florence almost single-handedly invents modern nursing, as we know it today.
