"Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses" by Florence Nightingale is a collection of addresses written in the late 19th century. The book compiles a selection of letters and speeches intended for probationer nurses at the Nightingale School at St. Thomas's Hospital, reflecting Nightingale's strong moral and educational convictions for nursing practice. It serves as both a historical document and a guide on the principles of nursing, emphasizing continuous learning, dedication, and the moral responsibilities of nurses." "At the start of the collection, Nightingale sets a tone of earnest mentorship, urging her nurses to recognize that complacency in their training would lead to stagnation. She emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning, making comparisons to historical figures like Isaac Newton to illustrate the vastness of knowledge in nursing. Nightingale instills in her readers a deeper understanding of their profession, encouraging them to pursue excellence not only in their technical skills but also in their character as compassionate and humble individuals. The opening, which combines personal anecdotes and philosophical insights, positions nursing as a vocation intertwined with moral and spiritual duty." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
