Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not
Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not was written by Florence Nightingale in 1859, three years after her return from the Crimea, for the women who nursed their families at home rather than for hospital professionals. In thirteen short sections she insists on fresh air and warmth, the health of houses, quiet management, the harm done by noise and by chattering hopes, variety for the patient's mind, what food to give and when, bed and bedding, light, the cleanliness of rooms and of persons, and above all the habit of accurate observation of the sick. The prose is sharp and practical, and the book has stayed in print since its first appearance. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
