5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of a Nursing student's precious time!, June 22, 2009

By	Gabriele (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Highly recommended for people considering, applying or enrolled in a Nursing program.

The central theme is getting the most out of your nursing education, and hit other important points for me, such as:

- Getting the most out of clinical time
- Instructor perspective, communicating with your professor
- How to handle worry about infectious disease or blood and guts
- Nursing school v. Medical school
- Are Nurses pushed around?
- Diversity of Nursing
- How to submit a strong, competitive application
- Writing papers, making presentations, study habits and note taking.
- Time management for nursing students

This book is the real deal. Relevant, nicely written and informative. Worthy of a nursing students precious time. I found it to be a fast, easy read and actually quite a page turner.

This should be required reading for nursing students.
