How to be a Nurse,
By Sweet Girl (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Nursing: Concepts, Issues, and Opportunities (Paperback)
This book wonderfully explains the ins and outs of being a nurse. It answers the question, "What does a nurse do?" and provides many anecdotes from real nurses on their experiences. I love all of the charts, which include "Health Problems Throughout the Lifespan," "Patient's Bill of Rights," "Barriers to Effective Communication" and many others. There are a lot of pictures, which makes a textbook less boring, in my opinion.Chapters include Basic Needs of a Person; The Nursing Process Defined; Achieving Effective Communication; Values; Ethical Conflicts; Challenges, and many others. This is truly an all-in-one "What is nursing about?" book. I am a pre-nursing student and purchased this to get a feel for what I will be doing as a nurse. I highly recommend it to pre-nursing and nursing majors.
