The Life of Florence Nightingale

The Life of Florence Nightingale is a total accomplishment.
It is very interesting, and it is very significant in the nursing
profession, because as we all know, without her, we don't have
what we call "nurses". She had contributed much in nursing
practice, research and education.
I like her life so much,
because she is an inspiration. She is an aristocrat, and as an
aristocrat, women are not educated, just men. women are just
princess and queen at their home. But her father give her a
reputable education, and after finishing the course that her father
wants her to take, she take the course that she wants, and that's
nursing. She is called The Lady with the Lamp, because of her
environmental theory that was used on the crimean war.
She found out that the soldiers are dying not because of the war,
but because of their diseases that was caused by the dirty surrounding.
That's why she made her theory, that says that "a clean environment
makes a healthy person".
For me her life is a big success.
