Florence Nightingale war eine englische Krankenschwester, Schriftstellerin und Statistikerin, die sich während des Krimkriegs durch ihre Pionierarbeit in der Krankenpflege einen Namen machte. Sie legte mit den in 'Notes on Nursing' zusammengefassten Prinzipien den Grundstein für die professionelle Krankenpflege. Ihr Engagement und ihr innovativer Ansatz bei der Versorgung verwundeter Soldaten machten sie zu einer inspirierenden Persönlichkeit, deren Vermächtnis bis heute in Form des Internationalen Tag der Pflege fortlebt.
