commemorating Florence Nightingale

hey friends ..I am really sorry for being away from the blog world for so long....Well its nurses week and and this is a time to celebrate nursing.....

This 12th may is also the centennial of Florence nightingale and to commemorate this occasion the nurses' chapel in Westminster abbey dedicated to more than 3000 nurses who died in the second world war will be dedicated to Florence nightingale.This is the first time that a commoner gets a chapel in Westminster abbey named after her,the others being saints or members of the royal family.She is the only nurse and one among the few women to be commemorated at the abbey.
