Florence Nightingale's Service

Florence Nightingale
 Florence Nightingale had no interest in easy and pleasant occupations of society .She was worried bout the
existing conditions in the hospitals.So she studied nursing in Germany. when in England she heard about the dreadful stories of England's soldiers wounded in the Crimean war .She hurried went to the war field with forty nurses with a view to rendering the best nursing service  
Florence Nightingale did not like easy pleasant occupations of society and instead of going to parties she visited  london hospitals and studied how sick people were nursed back to health and strength .In those day ,hospital nurses were very ignorant and she was shocked by the roughness and mismanagement that prevailed in English hospitals .
So,she went to Germany and studied nursing there and then she went to Paris .At last when she was quite certain she had mastered her subject ,she returned to England and began her work of improving the nursing in hospital .While she was engaged in her work ,a war broke out in Crimea between Russia and England .The people only thought of the glory of battle and the courage of the soldiers who went sinning  to their death . But soon other stories came home to England ,dreadful stories of wounded men being left to die.England was shocked by these things and everybody cried out that something must be done, something to stop the sufferings of the brave soldiers and that was done by Florence Nightingale .She went tom Crimea with less than forty nurses and in a few months she had succeeded wonderfully in nursing  the wounded soldiers .
