How did Florence Nightingale contribute to the evolution of the nursing profession?

Answer
A
She opened the first formal schooling program for nursing students.
B
She provided wound care for soldiers during the war.
C
She influenced hospitals to give nurses a higher salary.

Explanation

Florence Nightingale helped make nursing a trained profession by establishing the Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London in 1860. This was one of the first formal nursing schools and set standards for nursing education. She is also known for caring for soldiers during the Crimean War, but the choice about wound care does not capture her broader contribution to the profession’s development.
