Book Reviews of Notes on Nursing: And Other Writings (Kaplan Classics of Medicine)

Book Review: A Must-Have for any Nurse or Nursing Student!
Summary: 5 Stars

Florence Nightingale greatly influenced modern nursing, to focus on the needs of the patient and establish nursing as a profession requiring assessment skills as well as caring presence. This brief, well-written & clearly understandable book is a must for the personal library of any nurse or nursing student. It is amazing to realize how advanced Nightingale's thinking was in her era; her lessons remain essential today and provide a basis for understanding why we do the things we do. A great read for anyone interested in nursing!

Summary of Notes on Nursing: And Other Writings (Kaplan Classics of Medicine)

Orignally published in 1860, Notes on Nursing was written by Florence Nightingale as a manual to aspiring nurses. Still relevant today with commonsense advice for all caregivers charged with looking after the sick and injured, the book also offers a revealing look into the history of the nursing profession. Nightingale, the most famous nurse in history, was awarded the Order of Merit by the Queen of England in 1907 for her contributions to medicine and work on behalf of British soldiers during the Crimean War.

?

Kaplan's edition will also feature Cassandra, one of Nightingale's most important essays on women in Victorian society, and her correspondence.
