Inhae is going to tell you about Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was the daughter of a rich family. At the age of 12, she enjoyed caring for sick farmers. By the time she was16, she used all of her spare time to learn from her nursing books that she secretly got. She went to a hospital to study in Germany. After her graduation she returned to London and got a job running a hospital. In the Crimean War she was in charge of nursing. Her nickname was "the lady of the lamp" because she held a lamp every night. She saved thousands of lives but she herself got ill. Before her, nurses didn't know anything about medicine.
