dedicated to care of the sick and later in the home by female caregivers with no formal education,
nursing was not identifiable as a distinct occupation until the 1854 Crimean war.

There, Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing introduced the world to the functional roles of
professional nursing and the need for formal education.
