Notes on Nursing: What it is, and What it is Not

‘Notes on Nursing: What it is, and What it is Not’ is the best-known work of Florence Nightingale, the originator, and founder of modern nursing, comes from a collection of notes that played an important part in the much-needed revolution in the field of nursing. For the first time, it was brought to the attention of those caring for the sick that their responsibilities covered not only the administration of medicines and the application of poultices, but the proper use of fresh air, light, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and the proper selection and administration of diet. Miss Nightingale is outspoken on these subjects as well as on other factors that she considers essential to good nursing. But, whatever her topic, her main concern, and attention is always on the patient and his needs. This little volume is as practical as it is interesting and entertaining. It will be an inspiration to the student nurse, refreshing and stimulating to the experienced nurse, and immensely helpful to anyone caring for the sick.
