Escrito por Florence Nightingale


Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale, (Florencia, Gran Ducado de Toscana, 12 de mayo de 1820-Londres, 13 de agosto de 1910), fue una enfermera, escritora y estadística británica, considerada precursora de la enfermería profesional moderna y creadora del primer modelo conceptual de enfermería. Desde muy joven se destacó en matemáticas, y aplicó sus conocimientos de estadística a la epidemiología y a la estadística sanitaria. Fue la primera mujer admitida en la Royal Statistical Society británica, y miembro honorario de la American Statistical Association.
Sentó las bases de la profesionalización de la enfermería con el establecimiento, en 1860, de su escuela de enfermería en el hospital Saint Thomas de Londres, actualmente parte integrante del King's College de Londres y del NHS. Fue la primera escuela laica de enfermería en el mundo.
Su trabajo fue la fuente de inspiración de Henri Dunant, fundador de la Cruz Roja y autor de las propuestas humanitarias adoptadas por la convención de Ginebra.
