Before her services in the Crimean War made her the infamous Lady with the Lamp (and everyone wanted a tea towel with her face on it), Florence Nightingale began her nursing career as a volunteer at hospitals in her young 20s.

She immediately becomes an irritation to Robert. She has ridiculous new ideas about cleaning surgical instruments after use and is constantly opening windows. On top of that, Dr Hendrick fawns all over her due to her privileged upbringing and powerful social connections.
