Virginia Henderson quotes
-
“The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the infant, the knowledge and confidence of the young mother, and a voice for those too weak to speak.”
-- Virginia HendersonSource : "A Virginia Henderson Reader: Excellence in Nursing".
-
“The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.”
-- Virginia HendersonSource : Virginia Henderson (1991). “The Nature of Nursing: A Definition and Its Implications for Practice, Research, and Education : Reflections After 25 Years”, ABRAMS
