...As everything else in this book is really a brief hit on all of the vaguest info related to becoming a nurse covered during the rest of nursing school/ college. As a new grad, I was disappointed not to find any actual Tips or Tricks. Things like"take care of yourself", "network", and "get organized" aren't the inside info I was hoping for when I made this purchase.
I feel like this book was a waste of money, and I keep picking it up to read, therefore it's also a waste of time. I wanted to get at least one or two tips from the 150 the author claims to provide to us. Unless you have been living under a rock, none of this is great information. Buy a good pair of shoes, really? Duh.
After being in the wonderful field of nursing for 22 years....how refreshing to see things layed out so completely and so easy to comprehend. Great resource for all nurses but most especially the new nurse. Full of tips, hints and tricks of the trade. Makes me proud to be one of the heroes in the field of nursing. Thank you for the reminder.....
This book is almost identical to The Everything New Nurse Book. Same author. Same content. Different title. Only buy one of these Quan books. The Everything New Nurse Book is a bit longer. Both are easy reads.
Great book and timely information for new RN grads. I give this a 4 star instead of a 5 star because there are some pages where certain statements or paragraphs are repeated word for word on some pages. But overall I am very glad I got this book. I helps allay anxiety and fears about starting out as a new RN. It also provides pointers for self-check, attitude, behavior, and career advancement. I would say this is a must have book. Price was great and delivery was fast. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
I bought this book to use while I was orientating new nurses. I gave the book to each new orientee to borrow within the first week. There has been nothing but praise.
I'm still in the process of reading it, but so far, so good! I'm a nursing student and plan on adapting these useful tips!
Gift for a friend who graduated from LPN school, she lover it, handy lil book that gives you many tips and tricks about being a new nurse that you won't find in your text books from nursing school.
