What the Experts Say

This guide has received praise from nursing professionals and publications alike. Here’s what they have to say:

“The highlights of this book are its comprehensive contents; and the manner in which subjects are covered, specifically the systematic approach to managing patient care… The strength is the sheer volume of information covered by the authors. It is comprehensive in the data provided.” – Nursing Times, April 2013

“This guide is a useful ‘friend and companion’ to keep close at hand. It is an essential reference for nurses, not only on the ward but in every field of practice where patient care is given. In fact, it makes an accessible guide for all healthcare practitioners… The text is presented in clear and concise slices that could make learning a piece of cake… The book is so practical that it even comes with a waterproof, wipeable, and durable cover.” – Nursing Standard, May 2013

“The guide would be an excellent resource in many situations. It would be of obvious benefit for nursing students or newly registered nurses and allied healthcare professionals, but also for nurses or members of multidisciplinary teams whose specialist roles may have taken them away from providing care in acute settings. The information is easy to follow and so can provide a good prompt for exam revision or to provide a basic update before a placement.” – Nursing Management, July 2013

With its wealth of information, practical advice, and expert insights, A Nurse’s Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for nurses at all stages of their careers.
