Most Helpful Resource

A great book for experienced nurses or folks like me, who are just starting in the profession. Annette Vallano's book answered questions about nursing I wouldn't have even known to ask. I'm changing careers after twenty-five years as a teacher, and this workbook/resource book contained the best career advice I could have received. It gives a realistic, honest, nuts and bolts picture of what nursing is like today, both the good and the bad. I have a head start in how to be assertive and pro-active in finding and creating the nursing position that will suit my skills, interests and life-style. I also understand some of the work related pitfalls can happen and how to avoid them. Finally, the book has a heart and soul that gives meaning and importance to the unique abilities we each have to offer in our work as a nurse.
