A treasury of advice tips for the Edwardian nurse including: - Unless you know your male patient very well, do not attempt to read him aloud the stock market levels from a newspaper, for it is well nigh impossible for a woman to read them so that a man will understand her. - Never go about a sick room with a long face; it is enough for the sick one to have to be sick; you are there to be a help and a comfort, not an added anxiety. - The servants require pretty careful handling. Above all things, keep on the right side of the cook.Lounsbery, Harriet Camp is the author of 'Nurse's Calling Practical Hints to Graduate Nurses in the Early 1900's' with ISBN 9780951565599 and ISBN 0951565591.
