White-hot Nurses 8 -

The early days of nursing were marked by a focus on basic care and hygiene. Florence Nightingale, often considered the founder of modern nursing, revolutionized the field during the Crimean War by introducing sanitation practices, statistical analysis, and compassionate care. Her work laid the foundation for the development of nursing as a profession, and her legacy continues to inspire nurses around the world. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that nursing began to transform into the highly skilled and complex profession we know today.
