NOTES ON NURSING: WHAT IT IS, AND WHAT ITS NOT
Book Details + Condition: Harrison, Bookseller to the Queen (London). Early Edition, 1910 (nd). Hardcover. 76 pages with Appendix. In her work, Florence Nightingale describes how she envisions the expanded duties of the nurse in caring for patient's needs, and she urges a new and more responsible role for nurses - one that requires proper training and medical knowledge. Nightingale became well known during the Crimean War, while caring for wounded British soldiers. She was portrayed as the "Lady with the Lamp" in the press, becoming a symbol of the new ideas of Victorian medical hygiene and patient care.
