    Abstract:
    Before Florence Nightingale, nurses lacked special skills and training. The nursing mainly relied on nurse's religious passion and feelings to carry out nursing activities, and some vulgar and ignorant women took care of the job. Nightingale, who well-educated, born in an aristocratic family, devoted herself to nursing career despite the opposition of her family. She travelled around the world to investigate the hospital and nursing status. Nightingale practiced her concept of nursing work in the Crimean war. After the investigation of the wounded soldiers, she pointed out that the high mortality rate of British soldiers was related to poor nursing. She put forward suggestions to strengthen military nursing education; then she established modern nursing education institutions and created a new nursing education model, which was the beginning of modern nursing career. 南丁格尔创办第一所现代护士学校之前，看护者缺少专业训练，她们多依赖宗教情怀开展护理活动，或由一些粗鲁无知的女性担任看护工作。出生于贵族家庭，受过良好教育的南丁格尔不顾家庭反对，投身护理事业，她游历各国，调查医院和护理情况。在克里米亚战场上，南丁格尔实践了她的护理工作理念，通过对士兵伤员的调查，指出英国士兵高死亡率与护理不善有关，提出加强军事护理教育的建议；后又创办现代护理学教育机构，建立了全新的护理教育模式，开创了现代护理事业。.
