How Very Little Can Be

The Symptoms Or The Sufferings Generally Considered To Be Inevitable And Incident To The Disease Are Very Often Not Symptoms Of The Disease At All, But Of Something Quite Different-of The Want Of Fresh Air, Or Of Light, Or Of Warmth, Or Of Quiet, Or Of Cleanliness, Or Of Punctuality And Care In The Administration Of Diet, Of Each Or Of All Of These.

Let Us Never Consider Ourselves Finished Nurses....we Must Be Learning All Of Our Lives.

We Know Nothing Of The Principle Of Health, The Positive Of Which Pathology Is The Negative, Except From Observation And Experience. Nothing But Observation And Experience Will Teach Us The Ways To Maintain Or To Bring Back The State Of Health. It Is Often Thought That Medicine Is The Curative Process. It Is No Such Thing; Medicine Is The Surgery Of Functions As Surgery Proper Is That Of Limbs And Organs.

When Shall We See A Life Full Of Steady Enthusiasm, Walking Straight To Its Aim, Flying Home, As That Bird Is Now, Against The Wind - With The Calmness And The Confidence Of One Who Knows The Laws Of God And Can Apply Them?

A Nurse Is To Maintain The Air Within The Room As Fresh As The Air Without, Without Lowering The Temperature.
