Florence Nightingale, nursing, and health care today -- Contents -- Reviewers -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Share Florence Nightingale, Nursing, and Health Care Today -- Part I: Nightingale's Nursing: Then and Now -- Chapter 1: Florence Nightingale: The Challenge, the Impact -- Chapter 2: Nursing: The New Profession of Patient Care -- Chapter 3: Health Promotion -- Chapter 4: Ethics -- Chapter 5: Infection Control -- Chapter 6: Pediatric Nursing -- Chapter 7: Long-Term and Palliative Care -- Chapter 8: Administration -- Chapter 9: Research and Policy Development -- Part II: In Nightingale's Own Words -- Chapter 10: Nightingale's Early Writing on Hospitals and Nursing -- Chapter 11: Nightingale's Writing on Nursing for the Poorest -- Chapter 12: Nightingale's Late Writing on Nursing, Hospitals, and Disease Prevention -- Appendix: Timeline-Nightingale's Nursing and Health Care and Its Influence -- Index.

This in-depth analysis of Nightingale's legacy goes beyond established scholarship to examine her lesser known--and arguably even more important--writings beyond Notes on Nursing. The book demonstrates afresh her unparalleled and ongoing influence on professional nursing, on the core concepts of health, disease, and access to care as we understand them today. It introduces readers to the "real" Florence Nightingale – who pioneered evidence-based health care, campaigned for hospital safety, promoted economic opportunities for women, and mentored two generations of nursing leaders. The first part of the book focuses on Nightingale's core nursing concepts: gender and women's issues, education, health promotion, infection control, professional ethics, pediatrics, and palliative care, and how they have transcended time to influence professional nursing today. The author draws on comments from current nursing and medical literature to demonstrate the ongoing relevance of Nightingale's work. In the second part of the book, the author presents key writings by Nightingale, including the little-known background work that shaped her iconic Notes on Nursing. It goes on to cover key later writings, which show how her ideas evolved with advances in medical science and nursing practice.
