Florence Nightingale, a scientific woman, was the forerunner of modern nursing. She decided to break the tradition of 19th century women in English society, which dictated that she should be mother and wife, and dedicated her life to being the best nurse possible, for which she studied not only health sciences, but also mathematics and statistics. During the Crimean War, his work at the Scutari Military Hospital, where he discovered that patients died from infections caused by unsanitary hospital conditions rather than from combat wounds, revolutionized hospital design and hygiene measures, which would save thousands of lives in the future. After the war, he continued his work to transform nursing into a modern profession, promoting the training of new nurses and being key in the creation of the British Red Cross. Born on May 12, 1820, it is now 200 years since its anniversary. In this documentary video about Florence Nightingale I tell you her biography. #biography #womenscience
