Although Florence Nightingale is famous as a nurse, her
lifetime's writing on nursing and to nurses is scarcely known in
the profession. Nursing professors tend to "look to the future, not
to the past," and often ignore her or rely on faulty secondary
sources.
Volume 12 related the founding of her school at St Thomas'
Hospital and her guidance of its teaching for the rest of her life.
Volume 13, "Extending Nursing," relates the introduction of
professional training and standards outside St Thomas', beginning
with London hospitals and others in Britain, followed by hospitals
in Europe, America, Australia and Canada. Also presented is
material on work in India, Japan and China. The challenge of
raising standards in the tough workhouse infirmaries is reported,
as is Nightingale's fostering of district nursing. A chronology in
this volume provides a convenient overview of Nightingales work on
nursing from 1860 to 1900. Both volumes give biographical sketches
of key nursing leaders.
