What hospital did florence nightingale train at?
The correct answer is: London's St. Thomas Hospital.
Florence Nightingale was a British nurse, social reformer, and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at her hospital base in Scutari. She gained widespread recognition for her contributions during the war and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of "The Lady with the Lamp" making frequent rounds of wounded soldiers at night. Nightingale's later career focused on improving the standards of nursing education and creating a professional status for nurses. She wrote extensively on the subject, and her most famous book, Notes on Nursing, was published in 1860. Nightingale, however, trained nurses in London's St. Thomas Hospital at the time.
