Lectures on General Nursing: Delivered to the Probationers of the London Hospital Training School for Nurses
Eva Charlotte Ellis Lückes (1854-1919) was a pioneer of nursing training
and friend of Florence Nightingale. In 1880, aged only twenty-six, she
became matron of the London Hospital, the largest hospital in England, a
post she held until her death. During her time there she improved
working conditions for the nurses and trained her own staff, recognising
the importance of a knowledge of anatomy and physiology, but never
losing sight of the primary duty of a nurse to care for a patient's
needs. First published in book form in 1884, these lectures were part of
the training for probationers at the London Hospital. Emphasising the
importance of attention to detail, the lectures address the
practicalities of nursing, covering such topics as the management of
infection, caring for sick children, bandaging techniques, and drug
administration. Also reissued in this series is Lückes's popular 1886
textbook Hospital Sisters and their Duties.
