- Florence Nightingale 1820-1910
- On 4th November 1854 Florence Nightingale and 38 other nurses arrived at Scutari, an area of the
city of Constantiople. The main British hospital was located there and Florence was not impressed by
the conditions. The hospital was dirty, the drains were blocked, rats and fleas were everywhere.
- At first the doctors did not want the help of Florence Nightingale and her nurses, but they soon
changed their minds when the number of wounded soldiers continued to grow.
- Florence made lots of improvements to the hospital in Scutari. She had the drains cleaned, sorted
out a supply of drinking water, filled the hospital stores with clean sheets and bandages, set up a
nursing timetable and made sure that the soliders were well fed and cared for.
- Florence became very popular. The soldiers used to call her the ‘Lady with the Lamp’ because she
used to walk the hospital wards at night to check on her patients. The Crimean War ended in 1856 and
Florence returned to England. She was a national heroine and many Victorians bought ornaments of
Florence Nightingale to display in their homes.
