Lucy Osburn
Lucy Osburn (1 April 1836 – 22 December 1891) was an English nurse trained at the School of Nursing founded by Florence Nightingale. She is regarded as the founder of modern nursing in Australia.〔Judith Godden, Lucy Osburn, a lady displaced: Florence Nightingale's envoy to Australia, 2006.〕
== Early life==
Osburn was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Her father William Osburn was a wine and spirits merchant but his passion was for Egyptology, writing books and social reform. When Lucy was around five years old, her father became bankrupt and reputedly moved to Manchester. She remained in Leeds where she lived with her aunt. When she was 21 years old, she was employed as a governess and companion to her cousin’s family in Jerusalem. She stayed there for three years, and travelled in Europe before returning home. During this time she claimed to have learnt nursing. When Florence Nightingale later questioned her claim, Lucy avoided the question by stating her ‘best loved occupation was I believe breaking in Arab horses on Syrian plains’.()〔John Griffith, ("Osburn, Lucy (1835 - 1891)" ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 5, Melbourne University Press, 1974, pp 377-378.〕 Judith Godden, Lucy Osburn, a lady displaced: Florence Nightingale's envoy to Australia, 2006.
