Henderson's classic definition of Nursing
"I say that the nurse does for others what they would do for themselves is they had the strength, the will, and the knowledge. But I go on to say that the nurse makes the patient independent of him or her as soon as possible."www.angelfire.com/ut/virginiahenderson/concepts.html
Henderson's thoughts about Education
"In this country nurses are now trying to base their practice on the same sort of scientific knowledge that guides other providers of health care. I hope the idea is increasingly dominating nursing that all practice demands workers who have the habit of study...who realize that health care must change daily in response to research findings...that effective nurses are lifelong students."www.angelfire.com/ut/virginiahenderson/education.html
Henderson's quote on Research
"...the nurse who operates under a definition that specifies an area of independent practice, or an area of expertness, must assume responsibility for identifying problems, for continually validating her function, for improving the methods she uses, and for measuring the effect of nursing care...I conclude that no profession, occupation, or industry in this age can evaluate or improve its practice without research."www.angelfire.com/ut/virginiahenderson/research.html
