Today we had the privledge to go to The Florence Nightingale Museum in London! It was really a great opportunity to be able to see all the history behind the amazing women who really began the journey to make nursing what it is today! We have learned a lot about Florence Nightingale in school, and it is hard to say if all of us would be where we are today in our nursing program if it weren't for her! 
The museum was full of clothing worn by Florence Nightingale, as well as students she taught, and nurses who worked during the Crimean War along side her. It was really interesting to see the medical tools used during that time in history. As well as to be able to hear all the history behind everything.
