Notes On Nursing What It Is And What It Is Not Florence Nightingale by Florence Nightingale instant download after payment.

Many of the changes and improvements that have taken place in the fields of nursing and public health since the original publication of this work in 1859 are due, at least in part, to Miss Nightingale’s efforts. The modern administrative elements of planning, organizing and delegating, and contemporary concepts of authority and responsibility can all be identified with her perceptive discussion of management. “All the results of good nursing . . . may be . . . negatived by one defect, viz.: . . . by not knowing how to manage that what you do when you are there, shall be done when you are not there.” In this statement we can now recognize the beginnings of the idea of patient care plans.

Although administration is much smoother and more highly developed today, Miss Nightingale’s plan to have hospitals designed jointly by architects, nurses and hospital administrators has yet to become a reality.
