Change image of professional nurse
Two figures emerged from the Crimea as heroic, the soldier and the nurse . And each case the transformation in public estimation took place, and each case the transformation was due to Miss Nightingale.
Never again was the British soldier to be ranked as a drunken brute , the scum of the earth . He was now a symbol of courage, loyalty and endurance, not a disgrace but a source of pride.
Never again would the picture of a nurse be a tipsy , promiscuous harridan. Miss Nightingale had stamped the professional of nurse with her own image.
