Great book

This is a great little book on nursing. It is full of interesting real life stories and lessons to be learned from those real life advantures. Definitely a MUST for anyone thinking of going into nursing or nursing students.

Here are some honest stories about the first year of nursing. The book is well balanced between the various specialties, and it is very entertaining. It showed differing viewpoints from nurses just entering to experienced veterans who began long ago. Nursing is a profession with plenty of myths associated with it. This book dispels many of them.
