Florence Nightingale The Woman Behind The Face
Who is Florence Nightingale?
Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC (; 12 May 1820 ? 13 August 1910) was an English nurse, writer and statistician. She came to prominence during the Crimean War for her pioneering work in nursing, and was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" after her habit of making rounds at night to tend injured soldiers. Nightingale laid the foundation stone of professional nursing with the principles summarised in the book Notes on Nursing. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honour, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.

Growing up, Florence Nightingale was an inspiration for me and I actually thought I might have a nursing career -- when I did my Golden Parachute test, nursing and librarian and social worker were my matches. Hmmm!

I was a student nurse in 1960. Part of our curriculum was studying the life and times of Florence Nightingale. The school I attended expected all students to LIVE BY the Nightingale pledge from day one. Those who did not take the pledge seriously did not stay in school long.
Excellent information. 5 and fave from your fellow JJJ team member.
