parents wanted her to pursue a life as wife,

mother, and society woman. T T T
Florence worked hard to educate herself in
T T T T T T T
the art and science of nursing. Her mission to
T T T T T T T T T
help the British soldiers in the Crimean War
T T T T T T T T
earned her respect around the world as a
T T T T T T T T
nurse and administrator. This was no easy
T T T T T T T
task because many of the soldiers at the
T T T T T T T T
Barrack Hospital at Scutari resented her
T T T T T T
intelligence and did what they could to T T T T T T T
undermine her work. T T
The relationship between sanitary con-
T T T T T
ditions and healing became known and
T T T T T T
accepted due to her observations and dili-
T T T T T T T
gence. Within 6 months of her arrival in
T T T T T T T T
Scutari, the mortality rate dropped from
T T T T T T
42.7% to 2.2% (Donahue, 1985, p. 244).
T T T T T T
She insisted on proper lighting, diet, clean-
T T T T T T T
liness, and recreation. She understood that the
T T T T T T T
mind and body work together and that
T T T T T T T
cleanliness, the predecessor to today’s sterile T T T T T T
techniques, is a major barrier to infec- tion T T T T T T T T
and promotes healing. She carefully observed
T T T T T T
and documented changes in the conditions of
T T T T T T T
the soldiers, which led to her adulation as
T T T T T T T T
“The Lady with the Lamp” (from the poem
T T T T T T T T
“Santa Filomena” by H. W. Longfellow).

The starved and frozen camp,
T T T T
The wounded from the battle-plain, In dreary

hospitals of pain, T T
The cheerless corridors, The cold and stony

T T T
Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit
T T T T T T T
from room to room. T T T
And slow, as in a dream of bliss, The
T T T T T T T T T
speechless sufferer turns to kiss Her shadow, T T T T T T T
as it falls
T T
Upon the darkening walls. T T T
As if a door in heaven should be Opened and
T T T T T T T T T T
then closed suddenly, The vision came and

went,
The light shone and was spent.

A Lady with a Lamp shall stand In the great

history of the land, A noble type of good,

Nor even shall be wanting here The palm, the
