Florence Nightingale Chapter

Who was Florence Nightingale?

Florence Nightingale was a British Nurse, social reformer, and statistician. She was best known for founding modern nursing, also named the "The Lady With the Lamp." Her work in the Crimean War as a nurse inspired her to start her own nursing school; St. Thomas' Hospital. Her work significantly benefited the healthcare system into the 19th and 20th centuries. Although she passed away in 1910, her legacy and foundational work for the nursing system will always inspire people in STEM.
