The document provides biographical details about Florence Nightingale. It describes how she was born in Italy in 1820 to wealthy parents who disapproved of her desire to become a nurse, as nursing was not a respectable profession at the time. It then outlines Nightingale's training as a nurse in Germany and work in London hospitals. During the Crimean War, Nightingale led a group of nurses and worked to improve unsanitary conditions at an army hospital in Turkey, where she brought down the mortality rate. She became known as "The Lady with the Lamp" for making rounds at night with a lamp. Nightingale later received high honors for her service and contributions to nursing.
