Florence Nightingale

“Lo! In that hour of misery. A lady with a  lamp I see pass through the glimmering  gloom, and flit from room to room” Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern  nursing known as The Lady with the Lamp  was born into a rich family of high social  status in Florence, Italy. Her mother was 

against her choices to pursue nursing  because at that time they believed nurses  to be the job of slaves and housewives. At  that time, the role as a daughter born in  rich family was to become a wife and  mother of some children. This view grew a  rebellion in herself that Florence committed  to nursing and chose a life that would serve  humanity 

Through her efforts, she saved countless  lives of wounded soldiers in the times of  Crimean war. She served as an inspiration  for nurses in American Civil War.  

She wrote “notes on nursing “ A slim 136  pages book that served as the cornerstone  of the curriculum at the Nightingale school 

and other nursing schools that were  established.  

Every night she walked around the hospital  for about 5km to check out and interact  with all the victims. She brought a lamp to  light her way, hence she got the Title “The  Lady with the Lamp” by the victims as an  appreciation to her.  

She developed a theory in which the health  of an individual is as important as the  health of the environment – clean air,  health diet and nurturing places --- Florence  was ahead if her time in sustaining the lives  of people.  

Imagine an alternate reality where Florence  chose her privileged life than pursue  nursing. How we take action against the 

panademic today might have been very  different.  

I am thankful that in our reality she existed  – and her spirit lives on in our frontliners.  She is the perfect example of women in  science who changed our perspective in life  and healthcare.
