Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-21 00:00:00 Andrew Smith I borrowed this book from my university library when I was a student nurse. It offers many interesting scenarios and issues that have become commonplace in nursing placements, like how to get the best from your mentor, reflecting on your practice and developing essential skills. The book uses casual, almost immature language throughout, which may be off putting for some. However, I enjoyed this as it became a welcome difference from the stern, clinical text books that became oh so frequent whilst studying! The author is herself a registered nurse, although now office based, which does pose some questions about her ability to judge the current state of ward work. That being said, this is a recommended read for new students, and will undoubtably serve a purpose for nervous junior nurses!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-18 00:00:00 Eric Carlson Read through this as a care assistant who has always hoped for a career in Nursing. Parts of the book are relevant to anybody who works in/wants to work within Healthcare. If and when I start my Nursing degree this book will be useful to have.
