Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not by Florence Nightingale
"Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not" by Florence Nightingale is a book published in 1859. This groundbreaking guide offers practical hints for caring for the sick, covering ventilation, cleanliness, noise, food, and observation. Written during a pivotal moment when nursing was shifting from domestic care to professional practice, Nightingale's work challenged contemporary views and laid the foundation for modern nursing. Her holistic approach emphasized that symptoms arose
from unmet needs rather than disease itself, principles that continue to influence healthcare today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
