Schools were set up to train nurses properly
More emphasis on sanitary conditions and feeding the patients properly
Wrote all her findings into her book ‘notes on nursing’ and ‘notes on hospitals’
Very good at organising hospitals

Nightingale believed in the miasma theory – that stale air carried disease and did not believe that specific germs carried specific diseases.
She did not get the government to officially recognise the nurses qualifications
