In 1894, Nightingale trained several of the volunteer nurses who served along with her in the Crimean War. These nurses be leaning to the injured soldiers and sent reports back regarding the position of the troops. Nightingale and her nurses reformed the hospital so that clean tools was always available and reorganized patient care.

    As a curious child, my love for reading stories led to a lot of my spare time in the school library. At age 12, I read many of the stories in the childrens' Encyclopedia Britannica.

Her story introduced me to a new definition of career and service. I chose nursing as a profession to serve God and in service of fellow human beings in need. I was captivated by Florence Nightingale's vision and insight into the expanding role of nurses to provide holistic care in the health care system.…
