The founder of modern nursing expressed her revolutionary ideas of hospital reform in these two essays; published in 1859 and presented the previous year at the Social Science Congress. During the Crimean War; Florence Nightingale achieved renown as The Lady with the Lamp; the tireless caretaker of wounded soldiers. Afterward; Nightingale searched Europe for innovations to help the army improve its hospital care. This report of her findings and suggestions had a profound effect on the medical community and reestablished the author as an international healthcare authority.Despite the advances in medical knowledge since Nightingales era; her common-sense approach continues to form a solid foundation for nursing. In these essays she voices the importance of hygiene―fresh air and water; cleanliness; proper drainage; and ample light―as well as ongoing consideration for patients feelings. Nightingales ability to effectively articulate her ideas impressed her contemporaries and continues to influence modern readers. This volume serves as a companion to Nightingales classic of nursing literature; Notes on Nursing: What It Is; and What It Is Not.

Not all that cleverBy Jim HallTherersquo;s not too much substance to this short book; and frankly; many of the ideas presented arenrsquo;t really all that clever. It was not a complete waste of time ndash; I did kind of like the idea of taking a ldquo;picture trailrdquo; of your route or around your town; for instance. Other than that; though; there isnt much that is helpful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Half goodBy Larry FitzpatrickThe first half was good. Man y photography ideas.
