Florence Nightingale



A pioneer in the nursing field, she established herself as a competent nursing administrator during the Crimean War, where her insistence on sanitary conditions cut the death rate considerably. She continued to advance the field in her later years, providing better health service and opportunities for women at the same time.

Florence Nightingale said:"I think one's feelings waste themselves in words;they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results."
