LONDON - Nurses in central London admired a giant projection of Florence Nightingale onto the buildings of Guys and St Thomas' hospitals on Monday night to mark 200 years since her birth and her legacy to modern nursing.
Nightingale became famous after she and a small team of nurses travelled to modern-day Istanbul in 1854 to treat British soldiers wounded in the Crimean War, in which British, French and Ottoman forces fought the Russian Empire. "It's so nice to see Florence Nightingale on the side of a hospital. She is a big part of our history," said nurse Rebecca Boxall, speaking outside St Thomas'.
"I can't believe it's 200 years since she said basically 'wash your hands' and how prevalent that is now," said nurse Janet Carroll.
