Florence Nightingale, a key figure in nursing in the 1850s during the Crimean War, became a central figure in nursing in the 1850s. She was stationed at a hospital where she was in charge of a team of nurses caring for wounded British soldiers. The hospital's fragile condition had her first arrival when she first arrived at the hospital. She introduced stringent measures of care and made sure the wards were kept clean and well stocked with food and medical supplies. Nightingale's experiences led her to campaign for change in health care and nursing. St. Thomas' Hospital in London opened the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1860.
