Who treated the wounded during the Crimean War and transformed the nursing profession? Florence Nightingale The Lady with the Lamp Her name was Florence Nightingale. She transformed the nursing profession by improving the hygiene of nurses (making them wash their hands, etc.), they had to wear uniforms and in many others ways. This led to nursing being more recognized as a profession and improved the standards of nursing. In the British Army it was the Surgeon as they were called then instead of just doctors because their main function was treating the wounded Bandaging wounds removing bullet and shell fragments etc. So they were mainly doing surgical work as opposed to just treating the sick. |
