on Nursing:
What It Is, and What It Is Not(Paperback) by Florence
Nightingale 
This is a wonderful book that should be a required reading for anyone working
in or around the healthcare field. It is a sad reminder of how little we have
done to maintain her work ethics,especially, in regards to cleanliness, ventilation,
and wholistic treatment of the infirm.
Nightingale has a certain " tongue
in cheek" way of speaking in parts of this book. She suffered no ignorance
nor laziness.
It is striking to me 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. -

Selections and Commentaries (Paperback)
by Florence Nightingale, Michael D. Calabria, Janet A. Macrae (Editor) Nightingale
was a deeply philosophical and spiritual thinker, as revealed in these selections
from her three-volume work, written in her thirties and influential on her later
writings. Aiming to provide an alternative to atheism for those who had left traditional
religion, she struggles to articulate a reasonable faith, liberate women, and
develop a sense of the spirit of God within human persons. Historians, feminists,
nurses, and those struggling with issues of religious faith in the contemporary
world may find this work inspiring. |

Nightingale
and the Advancement of Nursing (Hardcover) by Bonnie Hinman Florence
Nightingale labored as a nurse during the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856. She was
an often difficult and always demanding woman. She was opinionated and fought
to win the battles set before her. After many miserable years, she convinced her
parents to let her become a nurse. She worked with intense energy to improve the
hospital conditions in the Crimean Peninsula. She successfully supervised her
nurses as they gave the patients basic care. |

Nightingale:
The Making of a Radical Theologian (Hardcover) by Val
Webb Val
Webb's carefully crafted study reveals some surprising and little known aspects
of this great nineteenth-century woman pioneer reformer. Her posthumously published
writings are evidence of a strong religious vocation and of unexpectedly radical
theological thought, resonating more with contemporary feminist theology and process
thought than with the Victorian ideas of her own days. This book shows the complex
personality, brilliant mind, and deeply religious motivation of this God-intoxicated
woman, who is both a mystic and a militant, an original thinker and great innovative
doer. - Ursula King, University of Bristol |
| Cassandra
(Paperback) by Florence Nightingale The world knows Florence Nightingale
as "the lady with the lamp" - -the revered founder of nursing as a respectable
profession for women. But few people are aware that Nightingale's career began
only after years of struggle to free herself from her suffocating Victorian family.
In this surprisingly passionate feminist essay, Nightingale denounces the lives
of idleness she and other women of her class were forced to lead. |
