Teaching Methodologies
Nursing is an art
And if it is to be made an art,
It requires as exclusive a devotion,
as hard a preparation,
as any painter’s or sculptor’s work ;
for what is the having to do with
dead canvas to do with
dead canvas or cold marble,
compared with having to do with the
living body- the temple of god’s spirit?
It is one of the fine arts ;
I had almost said
The finest of the fine Arts
