Neither in my own nursing education at the B.S.N. nor at the M.S.N.
level, was it even suggested, much less required, that I read any
of Florence Nightingale's original writings. Even as a nurse
educator for over 30 years, I did not require my students to read
her writings. After reading this book, I now believe it is a void
in the education of a nurse not to read at least some of the
writings of the founder of modern day nursing. Notes on Nursing
would be an excellent choice. This book introduces and discusses,
to some degree, many of the concepts nurses have been dealing with
since before my entrance into the field in the 1969, and certainly
ever since. Included in these pages are concepts such as holistic
health, home health, alternative therapies, health prevention and
maintenance, the role of women in nursing and in everyday life,
nursing administration, leadership, communications skills,
mind/body and body/mind relationships. Her theory on the use of
light, fresh air, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and the proper
selection and administration of diet is also well explored. Some of
the comments are unexpected and very insightful. - Anita S.
Kessler, R.N., M.S.N., M.Ed. Florence Nightingale was the founder
of the modern nursing profession. She single handedly
revolutionized medical treatment with her writings on nursing.

thirty years
