	nickname 'The Lady of the Lamp' because she was continually checking all 
	parts of the hospital day and night and at night she needed the lamp. 
	In 1855 Queen Victoria wrote to Florence to thank her for all that she 
	had done.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.christianheroes.com/people/christian_heroes_florence_nightingale.html"><P align="left">
	When Florence was sixteen years old 
	her life was changed. God spoke to her and told her that she had a task 
	that He wanted her to do. Whatever anyone would think of such an event, 
	it was real to Florence. She now knew that her life had a purpose, and 
	that whatever would happen would be in God's will and timing.
	</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.christianheroes.com/people/christian_heroes_florence_nightingale.html"><P align="left">
	Florence then wanted to serve as a 
	nurse in a local hospital. Nurses had a very different role at that time 
	and were no more than cleaners. Even maids and servants looked down on 
	them. Her father refused to allow Florence to go to the hospital.

	In a letter Florence wrote 'We have four miles of beds 
	eighteen inches apart'. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.christianheroes.com/people/christian_heroes_florence_nightingale.html">
	In 1907 Florence Nightingale, now blind, 
	received the Order of Merit award.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/521DD374-EC0A-443E-994D-5429D8804F3C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
