Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing. She organized a unit of 38 women nurses in 1854 for service in the Crimean War, and, by the end of the war, she had become a legend. With the testimonial fund collected for her war services, she established the Nightingale School and Home for training nurses at St. Thomas's Hospital in London. Why was Nightingale called "The Lady with the Lamp?"
