This book was the first of its kind, originally published in 1859 by the creator of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale. This work was not intended to be a strict set of rules, but rather a series of guidelines by which she may \"give hints for thought to women who have personal charge of the health of others.\" Many of the notes are still relevant to practice today. The book contains advice and practices concerning ventilation, warming, health in houses, noise, bedding, light, food, cleanliness, and observation of the patient. Nightingale (1820-1910) known as \"The Lady with the Lamp,\" came to prominence during the Crimean War, in which she organized care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. Her practices regarding hygiene and living standards significantly reduced death rates. In 1860 she established her nursing school at St Thomas's Hospital in London, now Kings College. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, good condition. 140 pages, 12mo.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"D.
