<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>Contributes new insights to Nightingale's relevance for nursing today</em></strong></p><p>This in-depth analysis of Nightingale's legacy goes beyond established scholarship to examine her lesser known--and arguably even more important--writings beyond <em>Notes on Nursing</em>. The book demonstrates afresh her unparalleled and ongoing influence on professional nursing, on the core concepts of health, disease, and access to care as we understand them today. It introduces readers to the real Florence Nightingale - who pioneered evidence-based health care, campaigned for hospital safety, promoted economic opportunities for women, and mentored two generations of nursing leaders.</p><p>The first part of the book focuses on Nightingale's core nursing concepts: gender and women's issues, education, health promotion, infection control, professional ethics, pediatrics, and palliative care, and how they have transcended time to influence professional nursing today. The author draws on comments from current nursing and medical literature to demonstrate the ongoing relevance of Nightingale's work. In the second part of the book, the author presents key writings by Nightingale, including the little-known background work that shaped her iconic Notes on Nursing. It goes on to cover key later writings, which show how her ideas evolved with advances in medical science and nursing practice.</p><p><strong>Key Features: </strong></p><ul><li>Expands on established scholarship to reveal Nightingale's contributions to theory, science, and policy in greater breadth and depth</li><li>Demonstrates the remarkable relevance of her work to nursing issues today</li><li>Nightingale's core nursing concepts of health promotion, disease prevention, and access to care</li><li>Disseminates Nightingale writing especially relevant to nursing leaders and policy advocates.</li></ul>
