Nursing has evolved from ancient times when it began as basic human instincts of caring for others to a global profession. Florence Nightingale transformed nursing in the 19th century by establishing nursing schools and emphasizing the importance of hygiene. She is considered the founder of modern nursing. Since then, milestones like regulatory bodies, professional organizations, and evidence-based practice have established nursing as a full profession with diverse specialties and roles in communities worldwide.

44. LONDON, "May, 1872.
FOR us who Nurse, our Nursing is a
thing, which,
unless in it we are making progress
every year,
every month, every week, take my word
for it
we are going back.
The more experience we gain, the more
progress
we can make. The progress you make in
your
year's training with us is as nothing to
what you
must make every year after your year's
training
is over.
-Florence Nightingale
