Anthology of the writings of noted nursing author and bibliographer, Virginia Henderson, founder of the Nursing Studies Index and the International Nursing Index, and author of Harmer and Henderson's Principles and Practice of Nursing.

This is the newest edition of Henderson's classic "Reflections on Nursing", first put forth in a condensed version in the American Journal of Nursing (August 1964) and then published 2 years later as a book. This update includes the complete text from the initial book edition, along with a more recent addendum to each chapter. This arrangement enables the reader to appreciate the significance of the original work, while at the same time providing a glimpse into the author's reactions to her own ideas, approximately 20 years later.

Basic Principles of Nursing Care replaced Notes on Nursing as a foundational description of nursing. Written 100 years after Notes, the profession could no longer describe nature alone as healer. Modern medicine required a complementary service that could be performed in or out of hospitals, with or without doctors, for persons sick or well. Basic Principles of Nursing Care, was written for the International Council of Nurses and highlighted fourteen human needs or human functions as the object for the interventions of nurses. Having been translated into thirty of the world's languages, Virginia Henderson expanded upon Basic Principles of Nursing Care and wrote Principles and Practice of Nursing, 6th edition, a textbook that sanctioned the teaching, research and practice of nursing based principles first detailed in this book.

The Love of Books The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) Words from the Author Virginia Henderson I pray for you to find your quiet peaceful nook when you read the words written in this book, words of faith and inspiration, to touch and bless you in every way. Why is it at certain times in life we feel that we need to be guided? I feel that we don’t need to be guided as much as we need a guide. Psalm 32:8: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with my eye.” Now that is a great promise!
