Florence Nightingale remains an inspiration to nurses around the
world for her pioneering work treating wounded British soldiers
during the Crimean War; authorship of Notes on Nursing, the
foundational text for nursing practice; establishment of the
world's first nursing school; and advocacy for the hygienic
treatment of patients and sanitary design of hospitals.
In Notes on Nightingale, nursing historians and scholars offer
their valuable reflections on Nightingale and analysis of her role
in the profession a century after her death on 13 August 1910 and
150 years since the Nightingale School of Nursing (now the Florence
Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College,
London) opened its doors to probationers at St Thomas'
Hospital.
There is a great deal of controversy about Nightingale opinions
about her life and work range from blind worship to blanket
denunciation. The question of Nightingale and her place in nursing
history and in contemporary nursing discourse is a topic of
continuing interest for nursing students, teachers, and
professional associations. This book offers new scholarship on
Nightingale's work in the Crimea and the British colonies and her
connection to the emerging science of statistics, as well as
valuable reevaluations of her evolving legacy and the surrounding
myths, symbolism, and misconceptions.
