“I attribute my success to this: —I never gave or took an excuse.”

― Florence Nightingale



Known as The Lady with the Lamp, Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern-day nursing and a prolific author.

This no-nonsense book is not only a call for the establishment of training of nurses; it also offers the practical advice regarding the care of patients.



Per Heirs of Hippocrates,

"…has been limited to signify little more than the administration of medicines and the application of poultices. It ought to signify the proper use of fresh air, light, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and the proper selection and administration of diet."

"This famous book was brought out almost immediately in the United States…The work has been translated into many languages and is surely the most famous and most influential book ever written on nursing." Heirs of Hippocrates
