FLORENCE
NIGHTINGCALE
Founder of Modern
Nursing

LONDON, "May, 1872.

FOR us who Nurse, our Nursing is a
thing, which,
unless in it we are making progress
every year,
every month, every week, take my word
for it
we are going back.
The more experience we gain, the more
progress
we can make. The progress you make in
your
year's training with us is as nothing to
what you
must make every year after your year's
training
is over.
