Florence Nightingale believed that the role of nurses was to help the body recover, and then remain free, from disease. Nightingale was the first practicing epidemiologist.

In 1860, Florence organized the first school of nursing, the Nightingale Training School for Nurses, at St. Thomas' Hospital in London. Known as the Lady with the Lamp, Nightingale crossed the battlefields of the Crimean War with her lantern. By improving sanitation in battlefield hospitals, she showed how effective fresh air, hygiene, and nutrition were in the treatment of wounded soldiers. The practices she advocated remain a basic part of nursing care in the twenty-first century.
