Who was Florence Nightingale?

Correct Answer: A nurse

Florence Nightingale was a nurse — widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing.

During the Crimean War (1853–56), she transformed hospital conditions at Scutari, dramatically reducing mortality rates. She later established formal nursing training and is commemorated in the Florence Nightingale Museum in London.
