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.
