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.

of the modern nursing profession. She single handedly
revolutionized medical treatment with her writings on nursing.

Florence Nightingale was a healer, a comforter, and a nurturer. But
like all of us, she had a dark side. Because of her mystique and
her charisma she always got what she wanted. Seldom, did anyone
really know her. They were drawn to her. They had to be with her.
They admired her. At least one man literally worked himself to
death for her. But they did not really know her. There is no doubt
she was a force with which one had to attend. Denial of her passion
and abilities generally led only to personal devastation! Now you
can discover the darker side of Florence Nightingale.

Susie's status as "the baby" firecracker in no way hindered her
ability to sizzle and pop on a regular basis. As a result, everyone
took a turn in the hot seat. She squealed on her mother at church
and settled sister disputes with her fists. Naughty cats were
baptized and family "treasures" pirated. She twisted out a
perfectly good tooth for a quarter and jumped off of the roof just
for fun. It's no wonder that an old curmudgeon called her a "force
of nature." She was the irresistible force in an immovable Southern
town. Even the policeman was laughing when he brought her home from
an AWOL expedition. One thing was certain; life was never dull.
Whenever Susie was around, life was a "Firecracker Frolic."
