this statement suggests, it is not easy for a modern reader to fully comprehend the enormous social obstacles that Nightingale faced in regards to her pioneering work in nursing, which
ushered in the modern era of professional nursing (Roberts and Group 7). For one thing, Nightingale was born to an aristocratic, wealthy, Victorian British family. Therefore, her ambition to be
a nurse was antithetical to the social precepts of the period, which expected her to marry and devote herself to raising a family. Rather than follow this prescribed path, Nightingale

a nurse required neither education in the field, nor a particular degree of intelligence, as "nurses were considered to be little less than prostitutes" (Bloy). On a trip to Egypt,
Nightingale met two Sisters of the order of St. Vincent de Paul who provided her with an introduction to their convent at Alexandria, where Nightingale observed how the Sisters provided
disciplined and well-organized care. On returning to England, she visited the Institute of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserwerth, which further convinced her of the possibilities inherent in nursing as a vocation
for ladies (Bloy). She subsequently spent four months in 1852 training as a sick nurse at Kaiserwerth and in 1853, she assumed her first administrative position, which was as superintendent
