Florence Nightingale

As a full-time professor of business and personal development, I have rarely had t time to watch films for pleasure. Most films I watch are to select as lessons which will tell the story of famous figures in history (especially those which are outside of my academic purview) who have made a difference. I hope my students learn through identifying specific attributes of the subject of the film which drove them to making a difference in the lives of others. Teaching online at home during the quarantine of 2020, I have gotten a chance to catch up on films I never watched before to learn more about amazing people who lives long ago continue to make a difference event today.

This film on the life of Florence Nightingale has been one of the best films I have watched recently. It stirs both the heart and mind of all those who appreciate the dedication of nurses on the frontline during the pandemic, by learning about their historical "mentor," Florence Nightingale. The film is beautiful to watch. The spirtiual component is not offensive, it actually shows that in every dedicated "nurse" their is indeed a higher calling (vocation) to serve others to the point of the loss of their own life.
