The Lady with the Lamp
Nurse Technician Appreciation Week commemorates the life of Florence Nightingale on the week of her birthday, May 12. Florence Nightingale, also known as “The Lady with the Lamp," tended wounded soldiers during night hours with a lamp in hand during the Crimean War. Employees at Ross Clinic on Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, recreated the “Lady with the Lamp” using modern technology to represent the legacy of Nightingale in today’s nursing world.(U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Caelynn Ferguson/Released)
