marry, maintain a beautiful home, and become a hostess. But Florence Nightingale has very
different plans.

hopes of marrying a suitable partner and left England to study at the Kaiserswerth Hospital in

insisted that there was fresh air and water for all soldiers, that restoring soldiers received
healthy food to eat to help make them better, and that all bandages and sheets and bags had
been washed adequately every day. By the time he finished.

medal from Queen Victoria, and a $ 250,000 prize. He devoted the rest of his life to influencing
changes in medical care.

communities. He died at his home in London on August 13, 1910.
