"Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not" by Florence Nightingale is a pioneering guide to nursing in the 1800s, particularly for women, that argues that good nursing is more than giving medicine. Nightingale believed that most people who are suffering are that way because of poor nursing. She covers how diseases start and how women can help, emphasizing that creating a clean and comforting space can make people healthier. She teaches that things like fresh air and keeping things tidy can make people feel better and that the role of the nurse is to watch over the patient.
