International Nurses Day

from Dave Does History Hosted by Dave Bowman

Today on Dave Does History, we honor the quiet heroes in scrubs by diving into the legacy of Florence Nightingale—the woman who transformed nursing from a thankless task into a global profession. On International Nurses Day, we reflect on her bold defiance of Victorian norms, her relentless pursuit of reform during the Crimean War, and how her spirit still burns bright in every hospital hallway. From battlefield tents to delivery rooms, the lamp she carried still lights the way. Join us for a heartfelt look at the Lady with the Lamp and the nurses who carry on her mission today.
