Corners are bumped and dyes is worn away at board edges. Contains the notations of a former owner on pastedowns and throughout text. Virginia Avenel Henderson (1897-1996), American nurse, researcher, and theorist, fundamentally revised this text by Bertha Harmer. Henderson is known as "the first lady of nursing" and has been called the most famous, or the quintessential nurse of the twentieth century. She began her career at Henry Street Settlement, taught at Norfolk Presbyterian Hospital in Virginia, and later Columbia and Yale. Henderson's model is one of the most widely used theories of nursing. Bertha Harmer (1885-1934), the original author of this textbook, was a Canadian nurse, writer and educator at St. Luke's Hospital Training School for Nurses in New York, Yale School of Nursing, and McGill University. Henderson writes in the introduction for this fourth edition that, although the text has been reorganized to conform with the curriculum guide of the National League for nursing Education, Harmer's original text was progressive and "ahead of its time." From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, good condition. 1047 pages, octavo.
