This review is from: Pro-Nurse Handbook: Designed for the Nurse Who Wants to Survive/Thrive Professionally (Paperback)

Melodie's book should be required reading for anyone entering the profession and for those in the profession. She will make you laugh and cry while reminding you why you got into nursing. She reminds us that what we are suppose to be doing in nursing should be in the best interest of patients and not all the other interests that clutter up health care today. I was changed after reading Pro-Nurse and better able to handle the stresses that we face trying to meet the challenges of nursing.
