More quotes by Florence Nightingale
I use the word nursing for want of a better.
Florence Nightingale
The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.
Florence Nightingale
Marriage is the only chance (and it is but a chance) offered to women for escape from this death and how eagerly and how ignorantly it is embraced.
Florence Nightingale
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
Florence Nightingale
The account he gives of nurses beats everything that even I know of. This young prophet says that they are all drunkards, without exception, Sisters and all, and that there are but two whom the surgeon can trust to give the patients their medicines.
Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
Life is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the principle of evil, hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way is disputed. The night is given us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to use the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening.
Florence Nightingale
The craving for 'the return of the day', which the sick so constantly evince, is generally nothing but the desire for light.
Florence Nightingale
diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives.
Florence Nightingale
I think one's feelings waste themselves in words they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.
Florence Nightingale
The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ.
Florence Nightingale
Go into a room where the shutters are always shut (in a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut), and though the room be uninhabited-though the air has never been polluted by the breathing of human beings, you will observe a close, musty smell of corrupt air-of air unpurified by the effect of the sun's rays.
Florence Nightingale
For it may safely be said, not that the habit of ready and correct observation will by itself make us useful nurses, but that without it we shall be useless with all our devotion.
Florence Nightingale
Religious men are and must be heretics now- for we must not pray, except in a form of words, made beforehand- or think of God but with a prearranged idea.
Florence Nightingale
I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small...
Florence Nightingale
Variety of form and brilliancy of colour in the objects presented to patients are actual means of recovery.
Florence Nightingale
A woman cannot live in the light of intellect. Society forbids it. Those conventional frivolities, which are called her 'duties', forbid it. Her 'domestic duties', high-sounding words, which, for the most part, are but bad habits (which she has not the courage to enfranchise herself from, the strength to break through), forbid it.
Florence Nightingale
There is a physical, not moral, impossibility of supplying the wants of the intellect in the state of civilisation at which we have arrived.
Florence Nightingale
I was very limited as a women. Getting the men in the military to see that the medical facilities were unhealthy was very difficult, along with many other things such as getting a good education and also finding a good career.
Florence Nightingale
In a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut.
