Cuando comencé a escribir este libro, a fines de 2019, aún vivíamos en un escenario sin pandemia. Mis reflexiones sobre el futuro, con todos los grados posibles de imprevisibilidad e incertidumbre, tenían una buena dosis de optimismo. Nadie trabajaba en la hipótesis de una amenaza inminente, rápida y a escala planetaria. Hemos llegado a una coyuntura donde la "experiencia" no es suficiente: es hora de asumir un pensamiento "exponencial-progresivo", en el que la palabra clave es precisamente... innovación. Y que me aventuraré a llamar aquí con un nombre radicalmente nuevo: e-novación.

In Victoria, Australia, the introduction of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) to the health care team in Emergency Departments (EDs) effectively contributed to care for patients with minor illnesses and minor injuries. These advanced nurses treat low acuity patients in an attempt to compensate for the shortage of medical staff in EDs. The implementation of the ENP role has enabled experienced Emergency Nurses to extend their SOP include ordering diagnostic investigations and prescribing medications for minor presentations, allowing care from initial presentation through to disposition. The ENP specialty is the fastest growing of the Australian Nurse Practitioner (NP) models: experiencing a 61% increase in numbers during the period 2010-2013 (Jennings, McKeown, O'Reilly, & Gardner, 2013) the ENP specialty represents approximately onethird of the total Australian endorsed NPs (Middleton, Gardner, Gardner, & Della, 2011). However, the introduction of a new level of nursing within an already well-established ED team has disrupted traditional understandings about the roles and responsibilities of nurses within the ED (Person & Spiva, 2013). Clarification of the ambiguities surrounding the ENP role, SOP, and model of care remains elusive despite the fact that the NP role was introduced nationally in 2000 and in the State of Victoria in 2004 (Driscoll, Worrall-Carter, O'Reilly, & Stewart, 2005; Lowe, Plummer, O'Brien, & Boyd, 2012).

2023 Reprint of the 1946 U.S. Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In her introduction to the 1974 edition, Joan Quixley, then head of the Nightingale School of Nursing, wrote that despite the passage of time since Notes on Nursing was published, "the book astonishes one with its relevance to modern attitudes and skills in nursing, whether this be practiced at home by the 'ordinary woman', in hospital or in the community. The social, economic, and professional differences of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in no way hinder the young student or pupil from developing, if he or she is motivated to do so, its unchanged fundamentals by way of intelligent thought and practice". "With its mid-nineteenth century background of poverty, neglect, ignorance and prejudice the book was a challenge to contemporary views of nursing, of nurses and of the patient". "The book was the first of its kind ever to be written. It appeared at a time when the simple rules of health were only beginning to be known, when its topics were of vital importance not only for the well-being and recovery of patients, when hospitals were riddled with infection, when nurses were still mainly regarded as ignorant, uneducated persons. The book has, inevitably, its place in the history of nursing, for it was written by the founder of modern nursing". The book included advice and practices for the following areas: ventilation and warming health in houses petty management (how things are done by others when you must be away) noise variety (environment) taking food and what kinds of food bed and bedding light cleanliness of rooms personal cleanliness chattering hopes and advices (the false assurances and recommendations of family and friends to the sick) observation of the sick
