This isn’t just another book about anatomy or physiology – it’s a straightforward, practical guide that answers all the common concerns and questions of every student nurse.

How to Make It as a Student Nurse has evolved from the online advice provided to student nurses in the UK by well-known advocate and nurse Claire Carmichael. She has teamed up with experienced nursing lecturer Ann Marie Dodson to provide a complete guide to being a student nurse, from the application stage through to writing assignments, passing exams, undertaking clinical placements and working in a team.

This wonderful new guide is packed full of invaluable advice, including how to handle your finances and juggle your caring responsibilities. The content is supported by real life case studies and vlogs to summarise key points.
