Florence Nightingale

She was born on May 12, 1820, the second daughter of William Edward Nightingale and Frances Nightingale. During a trip to Egypt in 1849, she visited Alexandria Hospital and became keenly aware of the importance of formal nursing education. Nightingale, who had been interested in poor neighbors since her youth under the influence of Sismondi, a Swiss socialist whom she met in 1837 while traveling in Italy with her humanist parents, was stimulated after reading an article in the Times newspaper about the horrors of war, and became interested in nurses. Despite the opposition of her parents, who were concerned about damaging the family's reputation due to prejudice, she studied nursing at the Protestant school in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswert, Germany, which was run by a Protestant pastor by opening his home for prisoners released from prison, and in 1853, she became a doctor at the Ladies' Hospital in London. Became head of nursing.During the Crimean War, she performed superhuman feats in a field hospital in Shkodřur with the help of 38 Anglican nuns. She persuaded military officials who were mired in bureaucracy, carefully inspected hospital supplies, and established discipline in disorderly hospitals. The patient mortality rate dropped from 42 percent to 2 percent.
