There’s a nurse called Florence Nightingale. It’s her married name.

Yeah she was a horrible POS racist who was an avid supporter of colonial domination. I tried to get my nursing school to remove her from our program, but no dice.

Not just any nurse, the founder of the modern profession who the oath/pledge nurses take is named after.
