Description
Objective
To reflect on the contribution of Florence Nightingale in the health and nursing areas based on her epistemological legacy.
Method
Reflection in which Florence Nightingale’s nursing theoretical model is approached, trying to show how her family, training, social and cultural concepts influenced the formal construction of care.
Results
Florence Nightingale’s vocation, profession and legacy stand out as faithful expressions of her thoughts for the professional constitution of the nurse. Responsible for the care of people with a strong humanitarian characteristic.
Conclusions
It is not possible to unravel nursing care today from Nightingale’s thinking. This represents the power of a lifetime dedicated to the profession.
