This review is from: Notes on Nursing (Paperback)
Much of what Florence Nightengale is still pertinet today when you get back to the basics of nursing. Excellent commentaries by various authors at the beginning of the book provide insights on how Nightengale's thoughts and theories apply to modern nursing.

This review is from: Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not (Dover Books on Biology) (Paperback)
Florence Nightingale was the first "modern" nurse. Her methods were revolutionary in her time, and they form the basis for the techniques of patient management that have been taught ever since. This volume is a great overview, in her own words, of her ideas on care, cleanliness, and the nursing process in general. Her directives are widely applicable today. Anyone interested in the healthcare process, nursing, or notable women in history would do well to read this little volume. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Must-read for any nurse or aspiring nurse.,
This review is from: Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not (Dover Books on Biology) (Paperback)
Nursing is a vocation; not "just a job." Miss Nightingale knew this, and this book reflects this philosophy. Nursing-schools, many years ago, designed the curriculum--and educated the aspiring nurses--with this in mind. Sadly, many present-day nurses (and nursing-schools) have lost this ideal...and the state of affairs in nursing bears this out.If you're seriously considering nursing--or are a nurse who is "burned out," read this book. It will enlighten and edify you.
