You may be familiar with Florence Nightingale and her outstanding accomplishments in the nursing field. But how much do you really know about her? Here are five facts about Nightingale’s life that may surprise you.

1. Her parents didn’t want her to enter the nursing field.
Nightingale’s affluent British family ran with some of the most elite social circles in the country. But while her parents took great pride in climbing the social ladder, Nightingale preferred to avoid the limelight. She took an interest in philanthropy at an early age, caring for ill and poor people in her village. By the time she was 16 years old, Nightingale had decided that nursing was her calling.
