Brief Story of Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale's greatest achievement was to raise nursing to the level of a respectable profession for women. In 1860, with the public contribution of the Nightingale Fund, she established the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas' Hospital. From 1872, Nightingale devoted her attention to organizing the school and, almost annually for 30 years, wrote an open letter to the nurses and probationers, giving them advice and encouragement.

Nightingale devoted her life to tirelessly campaigning to improve health standards, publishing 200 books, reports and pamphlets. One of her most authoritative works, "Notes on Nursing" was published in 1860. It focused on the principles of nursing: observation and sensitivity to the patient's needs. It has been translated into 11 languages, and today, more than 145 years later, it is still in print.
