by Sarah Tooley
'Life of Florence Nightingale' Summary
Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to improving the health and welfare of others. Born into a wealthy family in 1820, Nightingale defied the expectations of her time by pursuing a career in nursing. She traveled to the Crimea during the Crimean War, where she revolutionized the care of wounded soldiers. After the war, Nightingale continued to work tirelessly to improve nursing standards and promote public health. She was a pioneer in the use of statistics to track and improve patient outcomes, and she also played a key role in the development of the Red Cross. Nightingale's work had a profound impact on the nursing profession, and her legacy continues to inspire nurses around the world.Book Details
