Full of real-life tips and insights from practising nurses, this new title gives encouragement and advice to help newly qualified registrants prepare as they start work in the ever-changing world of health care.

So You've Registered, What Now? does not cover clinical skills but rather concentrates on the practical essentials of working as a nurse in different settings, from hospitals to the community and research sectors. Written in an easy to follow, conversational style, it takes the reader through relevant regulations and provides up-to-date guidance on how to survive as a nurse in the real world.

Being a newly registered nurse can be a daunting experience. New nurses will find this book an invaluable resource that will help them navigate the sometimes convoluted path to establishing their career, as well as a support and guide through the highs and lows of their working life.
