The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.

Let whoever is in charge keep this simple question in her head (not, how can I always do this right thing myself, but) how can I provide for this right thing to be always done?

Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.

There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions

I can stand out the war with any man.

I can expect no sympathy or help from my family.

Christ, if he had been a woman, might have been nothing but a great complainer
