Developed in collaboration with and endorsed by the National Student Nurses' Association, it is a candid, humorous guide to the often difficult and sometimes stressful educational route to a career in nursing. In addition to describing typical student nursing experiences, the book offers sound advice for coping with the problems and stresses frequently encountered.
