Episode 4: Florence Nightingale

from The Estrogen Effect

Known as "The Lady with the Lamp", Florence Nightingale dedicated her life to helping others to fulfill her "calling from God".  Against her family's wishes, she set forth on a career in nursing.  Just when she was making a name for herself, she was called to war and significantly improved the care of wounded soldiers during the Crimean War.  After the war, Nightingale used the knowledge she gained from her service to improve healthcare and changed how people viewed nursing.  Born into a life of wealth, Florence was humble and pushed aside high society life to help the vulnerable and weak.  Known as a pioneer of modern nursing, her selfless work, observations and models of nursing still resonate within the healthcare community today.Sources:https://www.history.com/topics/womens-history/florence-nightingale-1https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/florence-nightingalehttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Florence-Nightingalehttps://www.biography.com/scientist/florence-nightingale Email us your stories, questions, concerns or any corrections (we appreciate any feedback):  [email protected] us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TheEstrogenEffectPodcastVisit us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theestrogeneffect/Check us out on Twitter:https://twitter.com/EstrogenEffectTheme song Background Ambient Corporate B by WinkingFox from Pixaby:https://pixabay.com/music/jingles-background-ambient-corporate-b-by-winkingfox-2244/Podcast logo created by B, Baby Bear #1
