Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was a British nurse who improved hospital care during the Crimean War. She used statistics and charts to show how cleanliness saved lives.

She is considered a pioneer of modern nursing.

She cleaned up the wards, made sure the soldiers had food and medicine, and created a system of record keeping that helped show what was working.

Nightingale's work helped to reduce deaths in hospitals and changed how nursing was taught.
