on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not(Paperback) by Florence Nightingale
"This
wonderful book should be required reading for anyone in the healthcare field.
It is a sad reminder of how little we have done to maintain her work ethics, especially
with regard to cleanliness, ventilation, and wholistic treatment of the infirm.
It is striking how people of this modern age think their thoughts are so "cutting
edge" and "innovative". Read this book and you will see Florence
was thinking it long before they thought it." - Wilmadane (Macon,GA, U.S.A.) |

Private Life of Florence Nightingale (Paperback) by Richard Gordon She
was emotional, she was vain, she was incomparable. She had a genius for rubbing
noses into facts right in front of them. She had infinite capability and little
tenderness. Her antiseptic ghost today haunts every sickbed in the world, to which
she was Britain's most valuable and useful gift.' This harsh and gritty story
does little to perpetuate the myth of the gentle lady of the lamp. Instead, it
lays bare the truth of this complex and chilling character. |
