Nursing, the Finest Art : an Illustrated History (3rd ed.) by M. Patricia Donahue.

The history of nursing is beautifully portrayed through works of art in this unique volume. Donahue, an authority on the history of nursing, intersperses hundreds of full-color images throughout the text to underscore the social, political, and historical influences on nursing. While the roles and functions of nurses may have evolved since ancient times, the quest for effective patient care remains a common thread.

Nursing, the Finest Art: an Illustrated History is currently available for 4-week check out. You can find it in the New Books Area (call number RT31.D66 2011).
