Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nursing is a profession within the healthcare sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. This book provides information on the history of nursing with a brief biography of Florence Nightingale and an overview of the Crimean War. It also discusses basic education of nursing, its specialized areas of practice such as legal nurse assistant, military nurse, nurse educator, and more.
