Mary Seacole- An inspiration for nurses everywhere if there ever was one.

I listened to this on the radio a few weeks ago and thought I should share it. This lady should be a real inspiration to all nurses. A great example of a nurse with courage and commitment. In fact, she clearly exhibited all of the 6 C's, central to nursing today. She cared for soldiers in the Crimean War, which was a conflict from 1853-1856. Mary Seacole was a contemporary of  Florance Nightingale.
