'''Florence Nightingale''' was a pioneering [[nurse]] during the [[Crimean War]] who was so nice to all the soldiers she treated that an award was named after her. She was called "Nightingale" because she flitted from bed to bedside like a little bird, and also because it was her surname.

She was popularly known as "The Lady with the Lamp", and was a pioneer of modern nursing and statistics. She was an early innovator of what are now known as Pie Charts (she used them to breakdown the distribution of patients in her wards by type of disease), and Gannt Charts (she used them to help schedule her nurses.)
