Today we celebrate not only Florence Nightingale’s birthday, but also the modern nursing profession she created. As a result of her groundbreaking strategies, Florence helped turn nursing into an established, trained and educated profession.
Study Nightingale’s life and you’ll learn how much of our nursing tradition and autonomy began with her. Her seminal book Notes on Nursing still resonates today.
When Florence encouraged us to take risks, to never stand idly by on the shore, she spoke from the voice of experience. Take a moment to celebrate her life and the risk-taker she was. Without Florence Nightingale nursing might not be what we know it as today, and the NACLNC® might not be an association of 4,000 Certified Legal Nurse Consultants.
Happy Birthday Florence!
