Notes on Nursing
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textFlorence Nightingale wrote these notes in 1859, after the Crimea, not for trained nurses but for every woman who would one day look after someone ill at home, which she reckoned was nearly every woman. They are about fresh air, light, warmth, quiet, clean linen and food. She is especially hard on visitors who whisper at the bedside.
