OVERVIEW OF NIGHTINGALES
ENVIRONMENTAL THEORY
I chose Florence Nightingale because of the knowledge she brought to nurses. I see her theory in
many ways in hospitals today through infection control and how handwashing reduces the
spread of infection. I also see adequate food, water, and lighting improves the health of
individuals. Third world countries lack in this area and disease tolls rise due to this.
