The dictionary says, hero is a person who admired by many people for his or her brave deeds.
So today, we’ll show you a hero in our hearts.
Florence Nightingale was born in Italy on 12 May 1820 and was named Florence after her birthplace. Florence and her sister were educated by their father and private teachers. She excelled in her studies. When she grew up, she decided to become a nurse. This decision greatly upset her family, because at that time nurses in England were looked down upon by people. But she was determined, and began caring for the sick in hospitals.
Later career In 1860, she laid the
foundation of professional nursing with the establishment of her nursing school .It was the first secular nursing school in the world, now part of King’s College London. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honor, and the annual International Nurse Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.
