preface
In the history of nursing, Florence Nightingale is revered as the “mother of modern nursing” for her selfless dedication and pioneering contributions. To commemorate her immortal spirit, Meizz Sculpture Company has received an order from a client to create a Florence Nightingale sculpture. This sculpture aims to showcase her steadfast leadership and loving image, while also imbuing her representative spirit of care with an eternal artistic form.
A Brief Account of Florence Nightingale’s Life
1. Early years and educational background
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 into a wealthy family in England. Despite limited opportunities for women to receive higher education at the time, she persisted in studying multiple disciplines, including mathematics, statistics, and medical knowledge, which laid the foundation for her future nursing reform.
2. Contribution of the Crimean War
During the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856, Nightingale led a team of nurses to field hospitals to improve medical conditions and significantly reduce mortality rates. Her image of carrying a lantern to patrol the ward late at night earned her the title of “Goddess of Lanterns”.
3. Publication of Nursing Notes
In 1859, Florence Nightingale published “Notes on Nursing”, which provided a systematic theoretical and practical foundation for modern nursing education. This book is still regarded as an important reference for the nursing profession today.
