N2  - Born into a wealthy English family in the 1820s, Florence Nightingale could have chosen a life of ease and elegance. Her love for her Savior, however, compelled her to resist the social expectations of her day. Choosing not to marry, she obeyed her God-given call to nursing, despite strenuous family opposition that said she was throwing her life away to enter such "lower class" work. Led by God to minister to the thousands of wounded soldiers suffering under barbarously inhumane conditions in the Crimean War, Florence's sacrificial service brought her worldwide fame. Yet fame did not deter her from her life's work: rather, she used her influence to institute sweeping healthcare reforms. Eventually she elevated nursing to a respected profession for women
