'This is truly a comprehensive, user-friendly survival guide for the newly qualified staff nurse, equating to a 'being a registered nurse for the terrified' handbook. This book sets you off on your journey from getting the most out of your final placement, preparing for the application for the post, easing you into dealing with common clinical problems, using experts to help you, then towards becoming a mentor and gate-keeping the profession In addition, there are management aspects, including delegation, objective setting, budgeting, and also addressing those difficult concepts like prioritisation of care and time management. It is also highly recommended for more experienced nurses as a refresher to their knowledge, as it contains a wealth of fundamental practical advice about good nursing care, all in one book.' Sue Hopkins, Chair, Royal College of Nursing Practice Education Forum, in the Foreword
