Succeeding as a Nurse is an invaluable book for aspiring nurses, new nurses and those who are further into their careers. It combines general guidance and information with an insight into the working lives of today’s successful nurses.
Part one of the book looks at the general skills required by a successful modern nurse, from writing skills to time management, and from coping with violence to getting the most out of training.
The second part, ‘Career destinations’, is written by contributors working in specific nursing or nursing-related roles. They tell it how it is - what the job is like, what type of person would enjoy it, and how you can get there if you think it could be for you. Most importantly, they pass on their own tips and advice so you can benefit from their experience.
So if you’re on the path to success already, or you’re just starting out, give yourself a helping hand with Succeeding as a Nurse.
