About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Notes on Nursing, by Florence Nightingale. Read by Cori Samuel. Notes on Nursing was published in 1859 and is a fascinating view into the theories underpinning the early development of modern nursing and public health reform by "the Lady with the Lamp", Florence Nightingale. Emphasising common sense and thought for the patient's care in many more ways than just administering physician-prescribed medicines, this is still a very relevant book for those interested in health or caring for the sick and infirm today. Summary by Cori Samuel.
