History of nursing
The Crimean War was important in nursing history. The English nurse Florence Nightingale started professional nursing with the her book Notes on Nursing.  She understood how important hygiene was.  Money was collected to support her - £44,039 (worth more than £2 million today).  She used it to start the first nurses training school at St Thomas' Hospital.  The first nurses trained there used to be called 'Nightingales'.
