In her introduction to the 1974 edition, Joan Quixley, then head of the Nightingale School of Nursing, wrote that despite the passage of time since \u003cem\u003eNotes on Nursing\u003c\/em\u003e was published, \"the book astonishes one with its relevance to modern attitudes and skills in nursing, whether this be practiced at home by the 'ordinary woman', in hospital or in the community. The social, economic, and professional differences of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in no way hinder the young student or pupil from developing, if he or she is motivated to do so, its unchanged fundamentals by way of intelligent thought and practice\". \"With its mid-nineteenth century background of poverty, neglect, ignorance and prejudice the book was a challenge to contemporary views of nursing, of nurses and of the patient\". \"The book was the first of its kind ever to be written. It appeared at a time when the simple rules of health were only beginning to be known, when its topics were of vital importance not only for the well-being and recovery of patients, when hospitals were riddled with infection, when nurses were still mainly regarded as ignorant, uneducated persons. The book has, inevitably, its place in the history of nursing, for it was written by the founder of modern nursing\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book included advice and practices for the following areas: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ventilation and warming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e health in houses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e petty management (how things are done by others when you must be away)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e noise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e variety (environment)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e taking food and what kinds of food\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e bed and bedding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e cleanliness of rooms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e personal cleanliness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e chattering hopes and advices (the false assurances and recommendations of family and friends to the sick)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e observation of the sick\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52447255462195,"sku":"9781684228102","price":15.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UWdZWE9HRGpzdjVSY241TzMxSGp2UT09_4b65cd80-e1a0-4925-a4bd-3f387e37f97f.webp?v=1759006536","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/notes-on-nursing-what-it-is-and-what-it-is-not-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
