2. Notes on Nursing: A Guide for Today’s Caregivers
Exactly 150 years ago Florence Nightingale published Notes on Nursing, through which she wished to pass on nursing advice and expertise to those called upon to care for loved ones in the home. The result was a best seller and to celebrate FNIF’s 75th anniversary ICN has produced a modern edition entitled Notes on Nursing: A Guide for Today’s Caregivers.
As with the original, this edition provides practical information for home caregivers - a contribution from the nursing profession to the public. The content follows that of the 1859 edition, with updated information to include current practices and knowledge. Authored by ICN, it has been reviewed by nurses in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America and endorsed by the International Alliance of Patient Organizations (IAPO).
The 150th anniversary of the publication of Notes on Nursing is also being celebrated by the Royal Mint which has struck a commemorative $2 coin to honour the life and works of Florence Nightingale. The brilliant uncirculated $2 coin pack commemorating Florence Nightingale will be launched in conjunction with FNIF's modern Notes on Nursing: A Guide for Today’s Caregivers.
The Florence Nightingale commemorative £2 coin can be ordered from the Royal Mint store www.royalmint.com/store/BritishBase/UKFNBU.aspx. The ICN modern edition of Notes on Nursing: A Guide for Today’s Caregivers can be ordered on the ICN website www.icn.ch/bookshop.htm, or on www.amazon.com .
