Important Read for Nursing Students Entering theProfession

This book includes pertinent topics for nursing students and nurses in practice in the 21st century. Topics such as collaborative practice, conflict resolution, effective communication, managing change within the health care setting are clearly imperative skills that nurses must have. The authors have chosen a writing style that is friendly and easy to read. The importance of humor is stressed through the chapters, but is also present in the form of cartoons/caricatures and delightful illustrations. Nurses often take care of others without tending to their own needs. The authors stress the importance of self-care and nurturing, as well as, assertive communication, strong interpersonal relationships. This is truly an excellent read for nursing students and current nursing practitioners. It is highly recommended especially in today's ever-changing health care environment.
