    Florence Nightingale was a British nurse, statistician, and social reformer who was the foundational philosopher of modern nursing. She is best known for her pioneering work during the Crimean War, where she spent many hours caring for wounded soldiers and established her image as the "Lady with the Lamp" from her night rounds. Her efforts to formalize nursing education led her to establish the first scientifically based nursing school, the Nightingale School of Nursing. She was also instrumental in setting up training programs for midwives and nurses. International Nurses Day is observed annually on May 12th in commemoration of her birthday and her important role in the nursing profession.

    Biography

    Personal information

     “Lady with the Lamp”


     (born May 12, 1820, Florence [Italy]
     died August 13, 1910, London, England)
     Occupation: British nurse, statistician, and social reformer who was
    the foundational philosopher of modern nursing.

    Nightingale was put in charge of nursing British


    and allied soldiers in Turkey during the Crimean War. She
    spent many hours in the wards, and her night rounds giving
    personal care to the wounded established her image as the
    “Lady with the Lamp.”

    Her efforts to formalize nursing education led her to establish


    the first scientifically based nursing school—the Nightingale School of Nursing, at St. Thomas’
    Hospital in London (opened 1860). She also was instrumental in setting up training for
    midwives and nurses in workhouse infirmaries. She was the first woman awarded the Order of
    Merit (1907). International Nurses Day, observed annually on May 12, commemorates her
    birth and celebrates the important role of nurses in health care.
