(She was horrified when doctors refused to wash their hands, and would have been just as horrified to see people endangering their own health and that of their families and communities by not wearing face masks during this pandemic.) Made infection control a top health priority.Became history’s first, and most effective, advocate for the healthcare of soldiers and veterans.Created an administrative blueprint that has been reflected in every hospital organization chart ever since.Established nursing as a true profession and defined what it means to be a nurse.Florence went to work and over a two-year period she: The place was filthy and infected, medical care was abysmal, the most basic of supplies were unavailable, and the mortality rate exceeded fifty percent. No one has ever faced a crisis as catastrophic as the one Florence walked into at the Scutari Barrack Hospital in 1854 during the Crimean War.

The Florence Prescription is now available as an Audible audiobook That year has turned out to be very different than we’d all anticipated, but the lessons of Florence are more relevant and more important than ever before.

I created this special edition to honor the 2020 International Year of the Nurse. The article is adapted from the afterward of the 10th anniversary edition of my book The Florence Prescription. If you’re not a Nurse Leader subscriber download this illustrated PDF You will also learn why I say Florence is healthcare’s only rockstar.

My article “Florence Nightingale’s Lasting Legacy for Healthcare” is the lead story in the June 2020 edition of Nurse Leader, a publication of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership. I'm also curious if there is a name for this style of text-along-line?Įxample ggplot2 graph using annotate(.In every corner, not just in the corner office! I know I can place a straight/flat piece of text, such as via annotate or geom_text, but I'm curious about bending such text so it appears to be along the curve of the data. Note: I'm not talking about the hand-drawn xkcd style, nor putting flat labels at the top Alternatively, is there a way to have the line be repeating text, such as this xkcd #930 ? My apologies for all the xkcd, I'm not sure what these styles are called, and it's the only place I can think of that I've seen this before to differentiate areas in this way. Is there a way to put text along a density line, or for that matter, any path, in ggplot2? By that, I mean either once as a label, in this style of xkcd: 1835, 1950 (middle panel), 1392, or 2234 (middle panel).
