Reviews for Care Skills for Nurses

<p> All in all I think these books are great for students andnewly qualified nurses and I think that Care Skills would probablybe extremely useful for HCAs and APs too. (ANurse s Notes, 30 January 2014) <p> All in all, a really handy book to have that you canrefer back to at any stage of your course to help you out with anyaspect of drug administration. (The StudentNurse, 1 January 2014) <p> Receiving this book just before starting my firstplacement has been particularly helpful, and it has, as it promisedto do, increased my confidence and competence in clinical practice.The fact that it provides advice based on student-nurse knowledgeand reflects NMC standards assures me that the information given isappropriate but essential and detailed. It ll be a great helpto glance over at any stage of the course and will be amuch-loved book of mine, I m sure!. (Nursepraylove, 23 January 2014) <p> <p>
