Florence Nightingale is remembered for her transformative work as a military nurse during the Crimean War and her vast contributions to health care.
But she was also the world’s first nurse researcher and leader, spearheading changes that led to astounding improvements in health and health care and improving lives across the globe. She couldn’t earn a PhD in nursing in her day, but the nurses she inspires to follow in her footsteps can.
