From
reviews:


"...This
book reads like you've got the loveliest mentor you've ever had holding your
hand through the transition from student nurse to qualified nurse. Just reading
it made me feel calmer and better prepared about my imminent start. In my
opinion Carol Forde-Johnston's book is the best transition book I've
read." Sharon Sandford, STaR Project

Here's what some of our student and NQN reviewers
said:


"The writing style and tone of voice is just right,
it reads as though I'm having a conversation with a knowledgeable, trusted
friend."


"I noticed that it answered many of the questions I
was always embarrassed to ask as I thought I should have already known those
things."


"I have wanted a book that covers the information
provided in this book and have been unable to find one. I think this book will
be an incredibly useful resource."


Drawing on her 30 years' experience as a Registered
Nurse and University Lecturer Practitioner, Carol Forde-Johnston has written an
accessible and practical book that aims to respond to the questions and
concerns that her students and NQNs frequently raise - and to help you thrive
as a newly qualified nurse.
