5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely a nursing student must-have, May 22, 2005

I LOVED this book. It is well written, easy to read with a bit of humor thrown in. I am already finding myself turning to this book again and again as a resource. Along with advice on surviving nursing school and getting the most from your clinical experience, she goes into searching for that first job, resumes, and a little bit of everything. I really think she touches on everything. In addition, she lists many fantastic websites for everything from financial aid to nursing affiliations. She really covers all the bases. I can't say enough about it and think every nursing student should read this book.

This book was completely amazing. Fun to read, extremely informative, lots of information about not only beginning nursing school but getting through until the end! Lots of great quotes, tons of resources (some chapters have a couple dozen helpful websites listed!)and information I use every day.

Not only the most helpful book I've read about nursing school, but also the best career guide in general I've seen!

I can't say enough about this book!

This review is from: How to Survive and Maybe Even Love Nursing School: A Guide for Students by Students (Paperback)

I recently got accepted into nursing school and wanted some basic information on what to expect before, during, and after nursing school and this book has it all! It answered all of my questions and made me laugh during the process! It covers everything from how to choose the best school, to how to deal with the stresses of work, school, and your personal life, techniques on how to study and make the most of your valuable time, tips on test taking, how to get the most out of clinicals, NCLEX enrollment and preparation ... like I said it has it all. One of the best parts is that after each section the author gives a list of resources on what was covered! A must buy!! I definetely see myslef referring back to this book again and again, a truly great investment.
