Abstract : The history of the nursing profession dates back to ancient times. It is associated with inherently human feelings such as empathy, care, and love for others, which have always driven people to help one another in times of sorrow and illness. However, the honor of establishing nursing as an independent profession belongs to Miss Florence Nightingale, the first researcher and founder of modern nursing. She revolutionized public consciousness and perspectives on the role and place of nurses in public health. The legacy of Florence Nightingale continues to inspire today's generation. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that students are interested in studying Florence Nightingale's work and her contribution to nursing. Their interest is realized at the medical college through open events, including those dedicated to International Nurses Day, and through the preparation of informational leaflets and brochures highlighting Nightingale's invaluable contribution to the development of the nursing profession and the advancement of healthcare reform. This article attempts to explore Nightingale's intellectual legacy in the field of nursing.

Keywords : Nursing, Florence Nightingale, Founder, and Empathy.
