Produktbeschreibung

Becoming a nurse is a life-changing process and making the decision to study nursing at university is the first step. This guide helps prospective nursing students determine whether it is the right move, gives them an idea of which area of the field might best suit them, and provides useful tips for applying to programs. The book outlines the qualities needed for a successful nursing career and includes narratives from students and practising nurses about their roles, experiences, and routes into nursing. It also looks at the range of different settings that nurses work in and discusses nursing abroad.
