Florence Nightingale
1820 – 1910 · Nurse and statistician
It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a Hospital that it should do the sick no harm.
Who she was
Florence Nightingale, born to a wealthy English family in Florence and named after the city, trained as a nurse against her family’s wishes. In the Crimean War she led a team of nurses at the army hospital at Scutari, where her night rounds made her the Lady with the Lamp.
Back home she used statistics and her famous diagrams to push for cleaner hospitals, and in 1860 she founded a school of nursing at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. She died in 1910.
