Florence Nightingale

Sadly no longer available.

"The Founder of Modern Nursing", Florence shows a very clear love of people and a fascination in comparing her audience to people in her day. She identifies immediately the healthier look of modern folk, and illustrates this by painting Dickensian images of general health problems in her day.

Telling how she felt compelled to become a nurse, she recounts the horrendous tale of her time in the Crimea, and how she changed a hospital in which 85% of the inmates died from diseases they caught after admission. She tells of her return as a heroine and how she changed the way the sick and injured were cared for, including the basic laws of First Aid that she laid down.
