Wilfrid Laurier University Press Florence Nightingale: The Nightingale School - Volume 12

Discover Florence Nightingale's groundbreaking writings on nursing through this essential scholarly volume from the Collected Works series. Volume 12, The Nightingale School, chronicles the founding of her pioneering nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital and traces her educational leadership throughout her lifetime. Unlike popular biographies that focus on Nightingale's fame as a nurse, this work reveals her extensive, largely overlooked contributions to nursing theory and professional development. Nursing professors and historians have long overlooked her original texts in favour of secondary sources, but this authoritative collection makes her philosophical and practical insights accessible to both scholars and general readers. This used book in good condition provides an invaluable window into the institutional innovations and teaching methods that shaped modern nursing education and continues to influence the profession today.
