This is dedicated to my nursing friends and family. It was given to me by a nursing student that I recently precepted at work. Thank you Jen for it, I'd never read it before and yet I admire Florence Nightingale so much.
"Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Arts." -Florence Nightingale-
then i found this also from Florence Nightingale:
"Every woman or at least almost every woman in England, has at one tine or another of her life charge of the personal health of somebody whether child or invalid. In other words every woman is a nurse."
Hurray for you moms who are nurses at home to your families!
