Florence Natingale was a founder of sorority, special discipline in the eye of medical deontology. She worked as a caregiver, organizer, researcher, reformer, writer and teacher.

She was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, after which she was named. She is originally from a wealthy English family. As a bride, she had the opportunity to travel and get an education. She spoke seven languages, showing a preference for mathematics, especially statistics, but also for nursing. She nurtured relatives, servants, neighbors and visited the poor with her mother. Nursing skills were not required at that time. This job was devoid of social prestige and was mostly done by working-class women who found no other job opportunities. As such women were often notorious, parents opposed her decision to pursue such a job. However, she remained persistent in her intentions.

During the trip her parents sent her, she used the opportunity to visit hospitals and speak with experts. During 1849/50. she spent two weeks at the Deaconess Institution in Kaisersvert, Germany, where she learned the importance of order and discipline in health care facilities, which helped her to become the first manager of the Sick Misses Institution, where she worked from 1853 until the Crimean War of 1854.

With a group of nurses, she was called to Shkodra, where a military hospital for wounded and sick soldiers was formed. She immediately collected information about the hospital's sanitary conditions. She reported a lack of fresh air, impurity, overcrowding, which caused a high mortality rate of 42.7%. She then worked out a plan to change that, providing clean clothes and bedding, adequate food, determining the appropriate size of beds and the space between them. The reforms and measures in the health service and care of the wounded and the sick, which she established more than a century ago, are still in use today. She opened the first Nursing Service.
