Who was Florence Nightingale and what influence she has had in the nineteenth century and present day Nursing?

Florence Nightingale was a very terrific nurse. She helped to bring soldiers back to health. She also would go up to the attic all alone with the darkness and cobwebs to capture the rodents so, the soldiers could sleep. She influences current day nursing because she would do ANYTHING for her patients and she was one of the first female nurses.
