Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was a pioneering nurse and social reformer, best known for her foundational role in modern nursing and her work during the Crimean War. Born in 1820 in Florence, Italy, to a wealthy British family, she defied societal expectations by pursuing a career in nursing, a profession then seen as lowly. During the Crimean War, she led a team of nurses to improve unsanitary conditions at a British base hospital, significantly reducing the death rate. Her tireless dedication and innovative practices earned her the title 'The Lady with the Lamp,' and she established the Nightingale Pledge, a code of ethics for nurses. Nightingale's legacy continues to influence nursing education and healthcare reform worldwide.
Born on May 12, 1820 (205 years old)
