A History of Nursing explores the history of nursing by investigating the earliest records of the caring profession, how it progressed and what established it along the way to becoming the nursing we see today. It starts at the beginning of the story - how, once upon a time, all we had to depend on was Mother Nature. How did nursing go from being knowledge handed down through ancient scripts, folklore and sometimes by accident, to the degree-level, accountable practice of modern times? And why do nurses not wear hats anymore? A History of Nursing answers all these questions and more. -

Florence Nightingale’s seminal work, the classical historical nursing text. Florence Nightingale wrote Notes on Nursing to help ordinary women care for their families. Translated into over ten languages, and never out of print since its first appearance, this really is the classic nursing text. Over 160 years later much of the advice given continues to be pertinent in the extreme, especially in the light of the recent global pandemic. Published in conjunction with - and including a foreword by - the Florence Nightingale Museum. The cover of this edition is exclusive to the museum. -
In this classic historical text on hospitals - featuring a foreword by the Florence Nightingale Museum - Nightingale reveals her passion for good hospital architecture and design. At Scutari she saw first-hand the harm which can be caused by inadequate and poorly designed hospital buildings. Nightingale openly criticised designs which she thought might lead to higher infection rates, and therefore patients' deaths. Published in conjunction with the Florence Nightingale Museum, the cover of this edition is exclusive to the museum.
