bought for a friend

My friend who was going through nursing school asked for this book.She said it was a big help in her studies,and she graduated with high honors.

Great book to help the new grad prepare for their career.

This is an excellent book to give the new nursing graduate some help in navigating their budding career. The books topics includes basic tips from resume building to terminating your first nursing job. This was a text book for the final semester of my associates degree program at Joliet Junior College. I would recommend this product for any individual beginning nurse or program of nursing study.
