[06:26.59]"Be a lady,dear.That's what we want!"
[06:35.28]How many times pretty young Florence Nightingale
[06:40.40]heard these wordsfrom her father and mother!But for her
[06:46.70]being a lady was not enough.She wanted to do something to help others
[06:54.20]As a child,she felt that visiting sick people was a duty
[07:01.30]and a pleasure.She enjoyed helping⁵ them
[07:06.11]As often as she could,she visited hospitals in other countries.
[07:13.01]She saw so much suffering that she knew she must help.
[07:18.49]At last,her mind was made up."I'm going to be a nurse,"
[07:25.96]she decided⁶.She went to learn nursing in Germany and France
[07:33.96]When she returned to England,Florence started a nursing home for women
[07:40.85]Here she did everything—from washing floors to giving her patients new hope
[07:48.01]During the Crimean War in 1854,many soldiers were wounded⁷ or became ill
[07:57.39]News reached England that they were receiving little care
[08:02.77]Florence went with thirty-eight nurses to the field hospitals
[08:09.06]What they saw there was even worse than they had expected
[08:15.54]Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen—and smelled.
[08:21.32]She found it very difficult to teach the officer there how to run a hospital.
[08:28.11]Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes beds
[08:36.31]medicines,and food for the men.
[08:39.99]Her only pay was in smiles from the lips⁸ of dying⁹ soldiers
[08:46.18]But,they were more than enough for this kind woman.
[08:50.99]She fell dangerously ill herself,but she did not stop working.
[08:58.28]Even late at night,she could be seen walking with a lamp past each bed.
[09:05.59]The soldiers often kissed her shadow
[09:09.49]as "the lady of the lamp"went by.
[09:13.48]After the war,she returned to Englandand was honoured for her services
[09:20.88]by Queen Victoria.But,Florence said that
[09:26.07]her work had just begun.She raised money to build the Nightingale
[09:32.55]Home for Nurses in London,and she asked young girls to learn nursing there
[09:40.26]She also wrote a book on public health,which was printed in several countries.
[09:47.65]Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety,
[09:53.84]still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse.
[09:59.14]Indeed,it is because of Florence Nightingale the nurses are honoured today.
