Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing

Rating:
Summary: An excellent and comprehensive historical reference.
Review: Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing deserves repeated, ongoing mention as a 'must' for any serious medical library collection: it examines the history of nurses and nursing around the world, considering the individuals, practices and acts which have influenced their careers and growth. An excellent reference.

Rating:
Summary: A "must-have" reference book
Review: This invaluable resource has everything you need to know about nursing-- and it's beautifully written. After I found the entry I needed, I couldn't put the book down; it read like a great novel. If you buy only one reference book on nursing, it should Ms. Snograss's "The Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing."
