Inspiring biography of a real-life hero. I have been nurse for over 20 years and Florence Nightingale has left a significant impression on me and my career. I am well versed in her impact on the nursing profession, and this biography does a great job of explaining this from various people’s firsthand perspectives. In addition, I was thrilled to hear of her life in her own words. Flo was an avid writer and recorded so much of her life. I was moved by her faith and steeled resolve to fulfill her calling. I was challenged by her dedication and perseverance. This is an excellent book for young women, nursing students, nurses, teachers and faculty.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are solely my own.
