In this classic historical nursing text, Florence Nightingale shares her advice on nursing to those entrusted with the health of others. Publishing in conjunction with the Florence Nightingale Museum, Notes on Nursing celebrates the bicentenary anniversary of Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale was the ground-breaking female nurse who was responsible for the bettering of conditions in the hospitals of the Crimea, during the war with Russia. First published in 1859, Notes on Nursing is entirely comprised of nursing advice designed to aid individuals entrusted with the health care of others. The guidance Nightingale wrote of includes such practicalities as ventilation, heating, noise, light, bedding, and the cleanliness of the patient's environment, as well as a nurse's personal cleanliness and methods of observation. This work also addresses the treatment of those being nursed, from the food they eat to the things they should or should not be told. The pioneering work of Florence Nightingale and her effort to structure the care of the unwell has since earned her recognition as one of the world's founders of modern nursing. This volume serves as a companion to Nightingale's classic, Notes on Hospitals: 9781910821374.
