{"product_id":"florence-nightingale-lynn-mcdonald-9780889205208","title":"Florence Nightingale: Extending Nursing","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough Florence Nightingale is famous as a nurse, her lifetime's writing on nursing and to nurses is scarcely known in the profession. Nursing professors tend to \"look to the future, not to the past,\" and often ignore her or rely on faulty secondary sources. \u003cbr\u003e Volume 12 related the founding of her school at St Thomas' Hospital and her guidance of its teaching for the rest of her life. Volume 13, \u003ci\u003eExtending Nursing\u003c\/i\u003e, relates the introduction of professional training and standards outside St Thomas', beginning with London hospitals and others in Britain, followed by hospitals in Europe, America, Australia and Canada. Also presented is material on work in India, Japan and China. The challenge of raising standards in the tough workhouse infirmaries is reported, as is Nightingale's fostering of district nursing. A chronology in this volume provides a convenient overview of Nightingales work on nursing from 1860 to 1900. Both volumes give biographical sketches of key nursing leaders. \u003c\/p\u003e\/p\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn McDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889205205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889205208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 2.40d","brand":"Lynn McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742347079935,"sku":"9780889205208","price":157.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florence-nightingale-lynn-mcdonald-9780889205208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
