Not to diminish Florence Nightingale’s work, but what about HER tutor? After all, that pastor started the whole nursing school thing…

Did anyone catch House’s comment on Scandinavian airplane? I didn’t get that one.

Interesting that the PSA doesn’t mention her work in statistics, which (it could be argued) had an equally great impact on patient care.

They just kind of throw in the lamp reference at the very end, though, don’t they? Might have been helpful to explain where that nickname comes from, unless they thought it was such a common story that everyone already knew it.

The women/woman grammatical error near the end detracts from the message a bit.

I believe that the writer is referring to organized nursing schools, that is “professional” nursing.

Women have been serving as nurses since the human species first populated the earth? To what exactly is the writer refering?
