Summary:

It was expected of Florence to settle down and find a husband. But that wasn't what she wanted! Her calling was to look after others and against the wishes of her family, she trained to be a nurse. When medics were needed for the Crimean War, she knew she had to step up. Florence set to work, revolutionizing hospitals and healthcare forever. This inspiring story of the mother of modern nursing features a fact and photo section at the back.
