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
either. 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. Kessler, R.N., M.S.N., M.Ed. Florence
Nightingale was the founder of the modern nursing profession. She
single handedly revolutionized medical treatment with her writings on
nursing. Anita S. Kessler is an R. N. With Master Degrees in both
nursing and education. She has been an educator of nurses for more
than thirty years.
