I recently purchased a movie called Florence Nightingale starting Jaclyn Smith...did anyone else saw this movie and what is your opinion,thanks.
CASTLEGATES 424 Posts Specializes in Addictions, Acute Psychiatry. Has 27 years experience. Oct 28, 2009 Florence only worked as a nurse for a short stint and her nunnery tactics don't help us much today. I'd rather see one about Mary Seacole.

It showed how little nurses were thought of and how horrible hospital conditions were in England at that time. I felt it was worth a view.
