Florence Nightingale byla anglická zdravotní sestra, spisovatelka a statistička, která se proslavila během Krymské války svým průkopnickým dílem v ošetřovatelství. Stala se zakladatelkou moderního ošetřovatelství, když položila základy profesionální péče na principech shrnutých v knize 'Notes on Nursing'. Její odhodlání a inovativní přístup k péči o raněné vojáky z ní učinily inspirativní postavu, jejíž odkaz žije dodnes v podobě mezinárodního Dne ošetřovatelství.
