Frequently Asked Questions

Are these nursing texts public domain?

Yes. All texts in this collection were published before 1930 (or are works of the U.S. federal government), making them public domain in the United States. Anyone can reproduce, read aloud, or adapt them freely.

Which text should a nursing student read first?

Start with Florence Nightingale's Notes on Nursing (1859). It is the foundational text of modern nursing and is still assigned in nursing programs worldwide. It covers the fundamentals: ventilation, warmth, light, cleanliness, and patient observation.

Can I use these audiobooks in my nursing program?

Absolutely. Everything is public domain and free. Instructors assign Notes on Nursing in fundamentals courses, and the audiobooks work well as assigned listening. Students preparing for the NCLEX use the nursing briefs for historical context on the evolution of the profession.
