A quick search of Cinahl suggests the nursing journals are busy publishing commemorative articles, and finds a quarter page in the Danish nursing journal Sygeplejersken about a commemorative anniversary Nightingale Barbie doll (p. 9). I was intrigued by the subtitle of an article in Gastrointestinal Nursing by a lecturer at De Montfort University (also in Leicester) looking at her legacy ("pie charts to comfort animals" - I assume are two examples of her legacy rather than about comforting animals with pie charts!).
Seriously, though, here are some things about her legacy to various areas of health care (and other practice):
Nightingale's contribution to statistics is documented in the history of maths site at the University of St Andrews, and at the Science Museum.
This article in Evidence Based Nursing discusses her in relation to evidence based practice.
Quality and safety are discussed in this article from BMJ Quality and Safety, and in this Gresham Lecture.
Big data is discussed in this blog from the University of Nottingham.
There are biographical overviews in this article in the American Journal of Public Health, and from the National Army Museum and King's College London.
If you are home schooling, or being home schooled, there may be useful material in those links, but there is also material from the National Archives (for KS1/KS2), and BBC Bitesize (KS1, KS1/KS2, KS3). (Note to reader: those are English curriculum levels. Note to self: the KS3 post also discusses Betsi Cadwaladr, who deserves her own blogpost).
