This is one of the most infuriating books you'll ever read - why ? Because 150 years on we still can't get right what Florence knew then. This book should be the basis of modern nursing and an obligatory read for any nurse, or anyone involved with services that have nurses. I've got the text from project gutenburg and carry it around with me on my PDA (and my ebook reader).

'Notes on Nursing'is a seminal piece that reveals the thinking behind the mysterious Florence Nightingale. A leader in an era when nursing was not a topic of public general interest, she established protocols that ought to be applied today. She probably did more for the advancement of clinical hygiene and healthcare generally than any other health practitioner of the day. She was not only a leader but a psychologist and philosopher, in her own right. What other woman could be quoted as saying that women do not always make the best nurses as 'the very elements of nursing are all-but unknown'.

Got this for my mum and she loved it. She was a nursing sister on district for over 30 years and was really fascinated to read more about Florence Nightingale and the origins of the service. She found it informative without being patronising.
