National Nurses Week ends on May 12th, which is the birthday of Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale was a celebrated English, social reformer, statistician, and the founder of modern nursing, according to National Day Calendar, and became well-known while taking care of the wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. Nightingale was dubbed “The Lady with the Lamp” because of her habit of making rounds at night.
