Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale had been born into a wealthy family after her father received inheritance from the Nightingale family. It is unclear what her parents job's were or if her father even worked after taking arms into the Nightingale family.
Florence Nightingale received the Royal Red Cross in 1883 for her contributions to nursing during the Crimean War. She was also the first woman to receive the Order of Merit in 1907 for her pioneering work in healthcare reform and hospital hygiene.
Linda Richards is the first woman credited with bringing nursing to the USA. She was trained in England by Florence Nightingale who is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing practices, standards and techniques.
The Woman of the Lamp is a reference to Florence Nightingale, a renowned British nurse known for her work during the Crimean War. She earned this nickname for her nightly rounds tending to wounded soldiers with a lamp in hand. Nightingale's contributions revolutionized nursing and healthcare practices.
She developed hospitals in the way Nurses Were to be trained and Educated. Nursing was a demoralizing and low occupation before Florence Nightingale turned it into a Noble and Honorable Profession we recognize today. Her friend Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to qualify as a doctor in the United States. Edward T, Cook wrote a book in contribution of Miss. Nightingale , entitled "The life of Florence Nightingale" She Died in 1910. I was told it was due to severe (third Stage) Syphilis infection. I can not be 100 % sure of this, I wasn't There.
Florence Nightingale believed that every woman was a nurse because women cared for their families and it was believed as a natural empathy for people. However since there are plenty of male nurses these days it seems that Florence Nightingale underestimated the capabilities of men in the nursing profession.
