It commemorates the 100th anniversary of her death and the 150th anniversary of the publication of her book, Notes on Nursing. Shown is a pulse being taken against a backdrop of light rays. Nightingale was known as “the lady with the lamp” during the Crimean War in the 1850s, as she won worldwide respect for her pioneering work in nursing.
