Rezensionen

"For all nursing students working towards their degree,
this is a must-have additional text book. This would also aid the
newly qualified nurse in their first post as lifelong learning
continues." (Nursing Times, 28 Feruary 2013)

"This book offers an honest approach to preparing students
in the foundation of nursing. It is similar in content to other
books geared at preparing nursing students for practice, but it
sets itself apart with its focus on topics such as vulnerable
patients, inequality, discrimination, exclusions, and public
health." (Doddy's, 7 December
2012)

"I highly recommend this book." (Nursing
Standard, 3 October 2012)

"The content is brilliant for a student nurse of all
experiences...goes into detail where needed without drowning in
information which may be difficult for newly studying
students." (Liam Crawford, 3rd year learning disability
nursing student, Keele University)

"An excellent all-round text encompassing a broad range of
theoretical topics relevant to modern nursing practice."
(Samuel McCreesh, 3rd year paramedic student, University of
Brighton)

"Great information and to the point!...The tables, figures
and illustrations are brilliant and great additions to the
book." (Melissa Thompson, 2nd year nursing student,
University of Abertay, Dundee)

"An invaluable qualitative source of information for any
student nurse, holding your hand through the tough and challenging
areas of nursing...It's refreshing to read a book which takes
your hand and teaches you rather than talks at you." (Jon
Kingaby, 2nd year nursing student, Oxford Brookes University)

"Simple and easy to understand...a good read to introduce
student nurses to the profession." (Kay Morrill, 3rd year
nursing student, Glasgow Caledonian University)

"A very interesting book for future nurses...well written,
on interesting and relevant topics, in an effective and easy to
read style." (Clare Allberry, 3rd year nursing student,
University of Nottingham)
