175:. Before she retired Nightingale became the director of graduate studies at the University of Missouri. Moreover, Nightingale gale started to analyze the statistics of woman’s advancement in the science educational field. She was concerned about the lack of opportunities being to offered to woman to help further their advancement in the educational science field. She used herself as a case study because compared to the average males during that time period . it took Nightingale double the time to become a professor 30 years instead of the usual 15. Furthermore, throughout Nightingale's professional career she gained memberships to several prestigious honors groups. Nightingale was not only a member of the American Chemical Society but she was the vice president and treasurer of the Missouri's Chemical Society division. Also she served as the local vice president for Phi Beta and local president for the Sigma Delta Epsilon.
129:. In Fact, at the age of seventeen Nightingale began her post secondary education working as a grader in the German language department. She had her mind set on becoming a high school language teacher. However, Herman Schlundt a college chemistry professor at the university of Missouri was a supportive figure in Nightingale’s future and he convinced her to attend graduate school so she could accomplish her dream of becoming a teacher but at the college level. Nightingale also obtained a master's degree at the University of Missouri . Her final thesis was based on the organomagnesium halides and luminescent compounds., but went to the

This work had a significant impact on the development of production methods for various chemicals that involve dangerous reactions such as high-octane gasoline, synthetic rubbers and plastics, and detergents.
