I didn't read it as much as I should while in school, but all the advice for preparing for the job hunt, including interviewing, cover letters, resumes, what to ask the employer, what to expect them to ask you, and etiquette, was DEAD on. I carried it to seven interviews. Every question listed was asked in some form or another. I found it very useful, even though I'd had a previous career and this wasn't my first time interviewing. Higher level terms and management concepts which might be "boring" or "fluff" as mentioned in other reviews really did come in to play. Shared governance? You want to work in a hospital that has that in place for it's nursing staff. Magnet facility? Check!4 of my interviews were panel interviews of 5 to 9 persons. 3 of my interviews asked if I knew the mission and vision for the hospital. I wouldn't have thought to prepare in such detail prior to the first phone interview if not for this book. If your goal is to work for a top hospital or to enter a new graduate RN program (residency or intern program as they're sometimes called), then you need to be prepared to understand the management and business side of your future employer as much as your individual role and responsibilities.
One of the best features offers is the rental of textbooks. My daughter needed this book for a nursing class and, like most textbooks, the cost was very high. When we found it at for rent we took advantage. The book is very thorough in the subject matter, but that really becomes irrelevant since you have to use the book the college selects. You can, however, take advantage of the rental program. The difference in cost is enough to let you purchase a Kindle, rent the books you need, and still come out way ahead in the end.
This may be a great book but I have not used it for our class and I am half way through the semester. I hate when classes encourage you to buy a textbook and it does not get used. This will be sold after this semester.
Impressed with the book. Factual and appropriate to course requirements.Would recommend this book. Met my needs. I,m very satisfied.
The book itself is great, however the pages keep coming out of binding toward the back of book.
Chapters are long with terminology words highlighted which makes it easier for definitions. Up to date information regarding computers, and the legal issues that go with it. It is a required book for my class, and if you have to buy it, then by all means get it.
I would not buy this book if I don't need it for class. The text is very wordy and the information is limited or not presented in the appropriate chapter.
This book is ok. It reads fairly well and has some good information. It can help the new nurse learn about resumes and what is needed to submit for a job.
