** "Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses" by Florence Nightingale is a compilation of speeches and letters from the late 1800s that provides insight into Nightingale's views on nursing. These writings, directed to trainee nurses at the Nightingale School, highlight her strong beliefs about how nurses should be trained and act. Nightingale emphasizes the importance of always learning and being dedicated, as well as the ethical duties that come with being a nurse.
