Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820. Today is 12 May 2020, it is international nurses day and the bicentenary, 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.

She was also a great social reformer, and influencer in her time. I hope you’re enjoying these ectopics podcasts for nurses.And if I haven’t said it already, happy international nurses day 2020.
