Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Florence Nightingale published Notes on Nursing in 1859, three years after she returned home to England from Scutari. It is a manual for anyone who has ever had to take care of a sick person, written by a woman who had watched more people die of bad air, bad food, and bad management than of their actual diseases. Her prose is impatient and frequently devastating.
