Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted with
/# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /# /#
her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon interpersonal interactions.

Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice Act that

professional advancement, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state.
