[NPInfo] An editorial From Dave

[Pat Camillo]

Pat,

Thanks for your feedback :)......I can tell you that recently I had the 
opportunity to teach an undergrad course - something I have actually never 
done (15 years teaching grad students!)......and I decided to use Florence 
Nightengales Notes on Nursing. I have to say that every time I read that 
little $4.95 book, I am incredibly impressed with how beyond her time and 
perhaps even still beyond our time, this founding mother of nursing 
was......so if you want to be inspired and you want to find the roots for 
your "advanced practice" I would encourage you to grab a copy, sit back and 
read it in awe! We are just beginning to recognize and address some of the 
critical components of health care that she identified!
