Nightingale is the first real female nurse in the world, who started the nursing career and was the founder of modern nursing education. Because of nightingale's efforts, the social status and image of nurses with low status in the past have been greatly improved and become a lofty symbol. "Nightingale" has also become synonymous with the spirit of nurses.

Main contribution

1, set up a nursing school

1On June 24th, 860, Florence Nightingale set up the Nightingale Nurse Training School in St. Thomas Hospital, London, with a huge sum of money donated by people from all walks of life in Britain as the Nightingale Fund.

2. Start a nursing career

The significance of nightingale nursing training is to let the whole society know that nursing is a kind of "technology" and raise it to the status of "specialized occupation", so nightingale is called "the founder of modern nursing".

3. Develop a statistical model

1858, she invented the "rose diagram" (equivalent to a circular histogram), which made the statistical results clear at a glance. She let the figures show the number of soldiers with different causes of death by month, so as to convince members of Congress and civil servants who are too lazy to watch or understand statistical analysis and successfully arouse the government's attention to public health.
